Adur: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Adur?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Adur?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
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.

Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Adur, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning a van visit in Adur
Adur is about 1 mile north-west of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. For a care home visit in Adur, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Adur to Brighton (about 7 miles away).
If your residents have links with St Nicolas' Church, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. Mill Hill is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. With the sea within about 2 miles, many residents will have memories of fish and chips on the seafront.
For care home visits in BN43 and BN15, we just need to know where the van can park and roughly how many residents. Whether your care home visit is on Steyning Road, Coombes Road and Mill Hill or a nearby road, we can park up and fry there. Neighbouring places where we serve care home visits include Old Shoreham (1 mile south), Shoreham-by-Sea (1 mile south-east), Castle Town (2 miles north), Kingston by Sea (2 miles east) and Southwick (3 miles south-east).

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Count families who are joining in
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it’s hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Occasions we serve in Adur
It turns a meal into an activity, with the smell, the van and the chat.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re often booked for:
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries
