FAQs for Hollington
Can you serve near the sea around Hollington?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Hollington?
St Leonards Warrior Square station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Light near the van after dark
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Fit the visit around routines
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
We set up before the mealtime, quietly.
Inviting families makes it even more special.

- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
