About our care home fish and chips in Selsey
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for care home summer fairs and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.
In Selsey, a garden visit on a sunny day works beautifully. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.

Selsey questions
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.
How far is Selsey from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve

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.
