How our care home fish and chips works in Moor Street
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. For visiting days and fish and chip Fridays, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
For a care home near Moor Street, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Moor Street: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Moor Street?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Moor Street.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or ME8 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Access the van can manage
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Close to the garden or entrance
