Planners, venues and businesses

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Plan how food reaches residents indoors
  • Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
  • Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
  • Agree numbers for residents, staff and families

Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.

A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

What happens on the day

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Garden visits in Broadland Row work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

FAQs for Broadland Row

Do you come out to small places like Broadland Row?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you serve near the sea around Broadland Row?

Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Can residents with special diets join in?

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

Do you have allergen information?

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

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Can you park at the home?

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

How long are you on site?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Which areas do you serve?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Broadland Row.

Space, access and the venue

We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Away from bedroom windows
  • A level parking spot near the entrance
  • A clear way in for the van

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book with us

  • A clear quote before booking
  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Bookings across East Sussex, including Broadland Row
  • Quick service from the hatch

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
