A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why Peacehaven hosts choose us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Roughly how many people, including children

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Ascension Church, is a good occasion for a van visit. Old photos of Itford Hill can spark conversation during a van visit. Peacehaven is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out. With the sea within about 5 miles, many residents will have memories of fish and chips on the seafront.

What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Peacehaven, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
