Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
We set up before the mealtime.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Care home fish and chips in Lordington, cooked to order
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families can join in. Typical bookings include a monthly fish and chip day and retirement village events, with haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
At a rural home near Lordington, access matters so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Organising for someone else?
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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A lit spot for evening service
- Away from bedroom windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Questions from Lordington
Do you come out to small places like Lordington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Lordington?
Southbourne station, about 2.5 miles south of the centre.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A seaside afternoon with a chip van feels special, without leaving the home. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
