Care home fish and chips in Hunny Hill, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. For staff thank-you lunches at the home and a monthly fish and chip day, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Care homes around Hunny Hill are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from bedroom windows
Hunny Hill is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Hunny Hill questions
Can you serve near the sea around Hunny Hill?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:

- Plan how food reaches residents indoors

Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. In summer, Hunny Hill has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- 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.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
