Choosing a fish and chip van

Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Belmont

The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it’s summer fêtes and open days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas for your guests.

Care homes around Belmont are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
  • Not blocking ambulance bays

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Popular choices

  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips

Why choose a fish and chip van in Belmont?

A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Why us?

  • A quote that spells everything out
  • Rain does not stop the fryers
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Read our pricing or the cost guide.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Belmont: care homes and access

Belmont is about 1 mile south-east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Give us the address of your care home visit in Belmont, and we’ll plan the route and the parking spot before the day. Belmont is one of 289 places in East Sussex where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 31 miles away.

Some homes in Belmont have links with a local church such as Emmanuel Church, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. Residents who remember days out at Church Wood and Robsack Wood may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips. With the sea within about a mile, many residents will have memories of fish and chips on the seafront.

For care home visits in TN34 and TN35, we just need to know where the van can park. That could mean a care home visit at a home on Crown Lane, Croft Road and Manor Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. For care home visits just outside Belmont, we cover Hastings Old Town (1 mile south), Rock-a-Nore (1 mile south-east), America Ground (1 mile south-west), Blacklands (1 mile north-west) and St Helen's (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also take the van to Eastbourne (14 miles west), Bexhill-on-Sea (5 miles west), Hailsham (15 miles west), Polegate (15 miles west), Old Town (15 miles south-west) and Upper Horsebridge (15 miles west).

Other landmarks nearby include Priory Meadow Shopping Centre (under half a mile south-west) and Hastings Castle (within half a mile south-west). Within reach you’ll find Church Wood and Robsack Wood.

  • Local schools include University School (0.8 miles west) and William Parker Sports College (1.4 miles north-west)
  • Pubs nearby include The Roebuck Inn (less than half a mile south-east)

How it works

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Belmont has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
  2. We check the parking spot and send a price.
  3. We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
  4. On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
  5. We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
