Plummers Plain questions
Is Plummers Plain close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Plummers Plain?
The closest is Faygate station, roughly 3.8 miles away.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Can the van come to Plummers Plain?
We do. Plummers Plain is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Who books care home fish and chips in Plummers Plain?
Homes book a fish and chip van because residents love it, and it sparks conversation.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Sheltered housing get-togethers
- Themed afternoons
- Family days
- Residents’ birthdays and anniversaries
Residents who remember days out at Tilgate Lake may enjoy talking about it over fish and chips.
Before booking anyone
- How much space the van takes up
- What the price includes, item by item
- How many hours the van serves
- The deadline for final numbers
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In summer, Plummers Plain has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
