A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Classic food your residents already know
- Something for residents to gather round

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot for evening service
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from bedroom windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Common questions in Tile Hurst
What’s the nearest station to Tile Hurst?
The closest is Polegate station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Tile Hurst close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Ask about smaller portions
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your care home visit, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
