Care home fish and chips in Rose Hill, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. For birthday treats for residents and day centre treats, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
Near Rose Hill, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Questions from Rose Hill
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Rose Hill close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to Rose Hill?
Yes, we do. Rose Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

Visitors arriving by train should know that Uckfield station, about 3.1 miles north, is the nearest station. Rose Hill is within about 5 miles of the South Downs National Park, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out.
For care home visits in TN22, we just need to know where the van can park. Nearby, we also serve care home visits in Isfield (1 mile north-west), Little Horsted (2 miles north-east), Barcombe Mills (2 miles south-west), Broyle Side (2 miles south) and Norlington (2 miles south).

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
