A fish and chip van or other catering?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Something for residents to gather round
- No surprises in your quote
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Northease, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Questions from Northease
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Lewes and Laughton Levels?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Can the van come to Northease?
We do. We serve events in Northease and across East Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Northease?
It turns a meal into an activity.

- Fish and chip Fridays

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- 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
