How our care home fish and chips works in Selham
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. For residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, we can cook cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
Near Selham, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Selham suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Selham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A route in without tight gates
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Close to the garden or entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Other occasions in Selham
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Common questions in Selham
Do you come 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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Selham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
