Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Haddock and chips

How our care home fish and chips works in Glynde
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. We’re frequently asked to cater friday fish and chip treats and family days, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
Near Glynde, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Questions from Glynde
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Glynde?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How it works
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Garden visits in Glynde work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes

We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
