How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a summer visit in Sedlescombe, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from emergency access

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Common questions in Sedlescombe
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Sedlescombe close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
