Fresh fish and chips in Lullington

About our care home fish and chips in Lullington

We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.

At a rural home near Lullington, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Choosing a fish and chip van

About the food

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

How it works

The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Lullington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

  1. We start with a few details about your care home visit.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Get permission for the van from the venue

Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

  • Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
  • Plan how food reaches residents indoors
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
  • Plan portion sizes with us

We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Where the van can park in Lullington

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:

  • Not right beside residents’ rooms
  • Lighting for later visits
  • Firm, level ground close to the home

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

From the hatch

FAQs for Lullington

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 will work to whatever the site needs.

What’s the nearest station to Lullington?

Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.6 miles north of the centre.

Do you have allergen information?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can you park at the home?

Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.

Can residents with special diets join in?

The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

What about residents who do not eat fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can portions be smaller?

Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

For a treat residents will talk about, a fish and chip van visit is a great choice in Lullington. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why Lullington hosts choose us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • A van that becomes part of the event

Take a look at our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Planners, venues and businesses

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Organising a club, school or community event in Lullington? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
