How our care home fish and chips works in Almodington
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater seaside days and summer fêtes and open days.
For a care home near Almodington, tell us about lanes and the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Planning a van visit in Almodington
Almodington is about 4 miles north-west of Selsey, in West Sussex. Bookings in Almodington come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Almodington to Southampton (26 miles away).
Some homes in Almodington have links with a local church such as Earnley Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. Pilsey Island is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. The coast is within about 4 miles, and a van visit brings back seaside memories.
For care home visits in PO20, we just need to know where the van can park. Local streets include Second Avenue, Batchmere Road and Third Avenue; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. Nearby, we also serve care home visits in Somerley (1 mile north-west), Earnley (1 mile south-west), Birdham (1 mile north), Highleigh (1 mile east) and Shipton Green (2 miles north-west). Larger places within reach include Bognor Regis (6 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north-east), Selsey (4 miles south-east), Littlehampton (13 miles east), Emsworth (7 miles north-west) and Rustington (14 miles east).
Nearby you will also find Chichester Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north-east). The countryside around Almodington includes Pilsey Island.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Organising a club, school or community event in Almodington? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Make it a regular event.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Almodington
Which station is closest to Almodington?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 4.2 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Almodington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you come to Almodington?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Almodington. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In summer, Almodington has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
