Care home fish and chips in Burgess Hill, fried fresh
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Whether it is care staff treats and seaside days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
In a town like Burgess Hill, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. We park in the car park or on the drive. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What else we do in Burgess Hill
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Distance and any road charges
- The menu and how many choices
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your care home visit, and we will quote on that. To start, fill in our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
