About our care home fish and chips in Strettington
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. Whether it is lunch for the care team and lunch clubs, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Near Strettington, residents may not get out much, 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 is ready.

Strettington questions
Is Strettington close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
Can you serve near the sea around Strettington?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
