Aldingbourne questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Aldingbourne?
The closest is Barnham station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Aldingbourne?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we’ll check access.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 typically the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
