Middleton-on-Sea: care homes and access
Middleton-on-Sea is about 3 miles east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Bookings in Middleton-on-Sea come in all shapes and sizes, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Middleton-on-Sea is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover. Our bookings stretch from Middleton-on-Sea to Brighton (about 22 miles away).
Visitors arriving by train should know that Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles west, is the nearest station. With the sea within about 3 miles, many residents will have memories of fish and chips on the seafront.
Care home visits anywhere in PO22 and BN18 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Streets in the area include Sea Lane, Elmer Road and Yapton Road, and the van can serve a care home visit on any of them with a suitable parking spot. If your venue is just outside Middleton-on-Sea, we also cover Elmer (1 mile east), Bilsham (1 mile north), Flansham (1 mile north-west), Felpham (2 miles west) and Yapton (2 miles north). Further out, we also take the van to Worthing (10 miles east), Bognor Regis (3 miles west), Chichester (8 miles north-west), Selsey (8 miles south-west), Littlehampton (4 miles east) and Lancing (13 miles east).
Nearby you’ll also find Bognor Regis Museum (2.7 miles west) and Tote Copse Castle (4.2 miles north-west).

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask about smaller portions
- Plan it with your catering manager
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A route in without tight gates
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Middleton-on-Sea suit lunchtime.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
