Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Service time
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Southwick
Which station is closest to Southwick?
Southwick station, in Southwick itself.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your care home visit in Southwick. In summer, Southwick has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
