Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. 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.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, Ferring has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
