What happens on the day

You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. In summer, Twineham Green has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Name one person we can call on the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
