Care home fish and chips for Sullington events

Step by step

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. For a summer visit in Sullington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Preparing for the day

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Taking residents out is a big undertaking. The van comes to the home. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

Why book our van in Sullington

  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • A menu almost everyone likes

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A lit spot for evening service
  • Access the van can manage
  • Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Sullington questions

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

What’s the nearest station to Sullington?

The closest is Amberley station, roughly 4.7 miles away.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What does it cost to hire the van?

It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Do you bring everything you need?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

Can families and staff eat too?

Yes, and families love joining in.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

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.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
