FAQs for Woolmer Hill
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Woolmer Hill close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Woolmer Hill?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
What a fish and chip van costs
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Any minimum charge
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- Cod, haddock or both
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
