About our care home fish and chips in Pett
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
At a rural home near Pett, access matters so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Where the van can park in Pett
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Light near the van after dark
- Away from emergency access
- With the serving side away from windows
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Common questions in Pett
Which station is closest to Pett?
The closest is Three Oaks station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Pett too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can the van come to Pett?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Pett is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can portions be smaller?
We will plan portions with the home.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Check the spot with your manager
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Families love being included.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer visit in Pett, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day
