How our care home fish and chips works in Chichester
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Whether it is care home summer fairs and family days, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
In a town like Chichester, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. The van parks in the car park or on the drive. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the service time and the menu.

Questions from Chichester
Is Chichester close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Chichester?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can the van come to Chichester?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chichester. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Send us the date, the address or PO19 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- With the serving side away from windows
- Not blocking ambulance bays
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
