Care home fish and chips in Hastings, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for seaside days and visiting days.
In Hastings, care settings range from big homes to small ones. We will agree a level spot clear of emergency access. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
