Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Sun Rising
Is Sun Rising too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Sun Rising?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we’ll send a quote.

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Sun Rising is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van
