Care home fish and chips in West Sussex: what to expect

We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. We are frequently asked to cater residents’ family gatherings and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served.

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.

Care settings across West Sussex

In West Sussex, van visits suit homes, sheltered housing and day centres alike. Parts of West Sussex are within a few miles of the South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on vehicles for countryside events. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Crawley: Some homes in Crawley have links with a local church such as Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. With the A23 and A264 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. For a summer visit in Crawley, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

What a fish and chip van costs

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
How far we travel
Whether a minimum applies
The menu and how many choices

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

About the food

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

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 is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Fit the visit around routines
Let us know if smaller portions suit
Check the spot with your manager

Afterwards we pack up quietly.

Families love being included.

Before you choose a spot

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

Light near the van after dark
Not blocking ambulance bays
A route in without tight gates

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in West Sussex

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

What do you bring?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Can residents with special diets join in?

Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
