Care home fish and chips in Rookley Green
Rookley Green: your questions answered
Is Rookley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Rookley Green?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Do you cover Rookley Green?
Yes, we do. Rookley Green is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you park at the home?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we’ll check access.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Step by step
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In summer, Rookley Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Getting an accurate quote
To speed things up, tell us:
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
