In a town like Bexhill-on-Sea, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. The van parks in the car park or on the drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Questions from Bexhill-on-Sea
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

About 51 miles from central London.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

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’s fried on the spot.
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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
