Care home fish and chips for Sheerness events
About our care home fish and chips in Sheerness
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are often asked to cater care home summer fairs and residents’ family gatherings, serving gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Sheerness, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Sheerness: your questions answered
Can the van park in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Sheerness close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Sheerness.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Sunset in Sheerness is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Planners, venues and businesses

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
