For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Funtington?
Homes book a fish and chip van because residents love it.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:
- Care home summer fairs
- A monthly fish and chip day
- Family days
- Seaside days
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like The Parish Church of St Mary, is a good occasion for a van visit.
