How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In Steyning, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s fried on the spot.

Steyning questions
How far is Steyning from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Steyning?
The closest is Lancing station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
