About our care home fish and chips in Honey Hill
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. We serve gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for sheltered housing get-togethers and day centres and lunch clubs.
At a rural home near Honey Hill, access matters so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December visits in Honey Hill are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Honey Hill is about 3 miles south of Whitstable, in Kent. For care home visits in Honey Hill, we plan around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Honey Hill is one of 922 places in Kent where we bring the van.

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, is a good occasion for a van visit.
