Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. We are often asked to cater birthday treats for residents and open days for families, with pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Crumbles, access matters. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

FAQs for Crumbles
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Princes Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
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.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in for the van
- Light near the van after dark
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
