Wycombe Marsh: your questions answered
How far is Wycombe Marsh from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Make it a regular event.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Wycombe Marsh, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
