Food your guests will love

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

FAQs for Shoreham-by-Sea

Can you serve near the sea around Shoreham-by-Sea?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

How far is Shoreham-by-Sea from London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Do you do residents’ portions?

Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.

What food do you serve?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can you park at the home?

Your manager can choose the spot.

Takeaway run or book a van?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The process

We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Shoreham-by-Sea suit lunchtime.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

How to get a price

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
