Planning an event in Littlehampton?
Should I sort the food myself?
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 is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
About our care home fish and chips in Littlehampton
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for friday fish and chip treats and care staff treats.
In a town like Littlehampton, care homes, sheltered housing and day centres all book visits. The van parks in the car park or on the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Littlehampton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
Common questions in Littlehampton
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
