About our care home fish and chips in Isfield
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Typical bookings include birthday treats for residents and seaside days, serving mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Isfield can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Haddock and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

Isfield is one of 289 towns and villages in East Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Isfield to Brighton (11 miles away).
Old photos of Malling Down can spark conversation during a van visit. Some homes in Isfield have links with a local church such as The Parish Church of St Margaret, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête. The South Downs National Park is within about 5 miles of Isfield.
We take the van to care home visits all over TN22 and the streets around it. Local streets include Station Road, Lavender Fields and Horsted Lane; a care home visit on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Isfield questions
Is Isfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Isfield close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in for the van
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Light near the van after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
