What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

- Anything awkward about the way in

How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Woolbridge, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Common questions in Woolbridge
Do you come out to small places like Woolbridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Woolbridge?
The closest is Crowborough station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
