Care home fish and chips in East Hill
About our care home fish and chips in East Hill
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres, for one-off events and regular visits. For open days for families and retirement village events, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, gravy and cod and chips and more.
Near East Hill, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A route in without tight gates
- 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.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Questions from East Hill
Which station is closest to East Hill?
The closest is Shoreham (Kent) station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in East Hill suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
