Care home fish and chips in Nutbourne, cooked to order

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Nutbourne
Is Nutbourne close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Can’t 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 cooks in front of your residents instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
