The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer visit in Shoreham, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

About our care home fish and chips in Shoreham
It gives the kitchen and care staff a change. Whether it’s retirement housing and sheltered schemes and day centre treats, we can cook gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Rural care homes near Shoreham can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van makes it an event. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
