About our care home fish and chips in Maplehurst
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We’re often asked to cater themed afternoons and visiting days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Maplehurst, access matters so we can plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Planning a van visit in Maplehurst
Maplehurst is about 4 miles south of Horsham, in West Sussex. In and around Maplehurst, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your residents. Maplehurst is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Maplehurst to Brighton (14 miles away).
If your residents have links with The Parish Church of St Andrew, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. Families coming by rail can use the station: Christs Hospital station is about 3.8 miles away.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In summer, Maplehurst has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
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 are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
