Common questions in Stedham
Is Stedham close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Stedham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Stedham
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. We’re often asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and summer fêtes and open days, with gravy, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural care homes near Stedham can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How we price a fish and chip van visit
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
