Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Make it a regular event.
Where the van can park in Bewbush

Which station is closest to Bewbush?
Ifield station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
