The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park

Cripp's Corner questions
Do you come out to small places like Cripp's Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Cripp's Corner?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 3 miles away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
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 we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Count families who are joining in
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
