Near Flansham, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Planning for dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
  • Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
  • Plan portion sizes with us
  • Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen

We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.

A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

Barnham station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.

Do you come out to small places like Flansham?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.

Do we need to provide equipment?

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Where do you take the van?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Flansham.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Prices and what affects them

These are the factors that matter most:

  • The length of service
  • The date and time of year
  • The minimum booking
