About our care home fish and chips in East Chiltington
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. On the menu are sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and residents’ celebrations.
Rural care homes near East Chiltington can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Working with your venue
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 larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

- A route in without tight gates
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
