Organising for someone else?
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.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About our care home fish and chips in Climping
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. We serve gravy, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and seaside days.
Rural care homes near Climping can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Climping questions
Do you come out to small places like Climping?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Climping?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the space and the way in
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Garden visits in Climping work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
