Care home fish and chips for Broadwater events
Care home fish and chips in Broadwater, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. We’re frequently asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and sheltered housing get-togethers, serving gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home in a place like Broadwater, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. 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.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Broadwater suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.

- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.

Questions from Broadwater
Can the van park in Beach House Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve near the sea around Broadwater?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- The day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Visitors arriving by train should know that Worthing station is about 0.7 miles away. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St. Mary's Church, is a good occasion for a van visit. With the sea within about 2 miles, many residents will have memories of fish and chips on the seafront.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
