Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Care home fish and chips in Sevington, cooked to order
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits, for one-off events and regular visits. For staff thank-you lunches at the home and day centre treats, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
At a rural home near Sevington, access matters. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
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.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. With darkness by about 3:50pm in December, winter van visits in Sevington suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

For event organisers in Sevington
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: 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 big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Sevington questions
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Sevington from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
