Fresh fish and chips in Sandleheath
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Care home fish and chips in Sandleheath, fried fresh
Staff get a break from the usual routine. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and lunch clubs.
For a care home near Sandleheath, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Sandleheath, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:10pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.

- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- How far we travel
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Sandleheath questions
Is Sandleheath 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.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you come to Sandleheath?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Sandleheath and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, use our quote form.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
