Why choose a fish and chip van in Golden Cross?
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
Why book with us
- We cover Golden Cross and the whole of East Sussex
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- A lit spot for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer visit in Golden Cross, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
