A chip van near Kingston Gorse
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Care home fish and chips in Kingston Gorse, fried fresh
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Whether it is lunch clubs and lunch for the care team, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips for your guests.
At a rural home near Kingston Gorse, access matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices

- Where you’d like the van to go

Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in without tight gates
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Kingston Gorse questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Kingston Gorse from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
