About our care home fish and chips in Netherfield
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are frequently asked to cater staff thank-you lunches at the home and fish and chip Fridays, with gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural care homes near Netherfield can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Netherfield questions
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Netherfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
