Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Ask about smaller portions
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Check the spot with your manager
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- Bookings across West Sussex, including Kingston by Sea
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
How we price a fish and chip van visit
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of the parking spot
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Away from bedroom windows
- Lighting for later visits
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. Sunset in Kingston by Sea is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we will check availability right away.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Kingston by Sea
Could you trade in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Kingston by Sea?
The closest is Southwick station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
