Families love being included.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Occasions we serve in Comp
The home only needs to provide a parking spot and a plan for residents’ diets.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Themed afternoons
- Residents’ family gatherings
- Summer fêtes and open days
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Common questions in Comp
Do you come out to small places like Comp?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In summer, Comp has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
