Care home fish and chips in Twineham, cooked to order

A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like The Parish Church of St Peter, is a good occasion for a van visit. Old photos of Bedelands Farm Nature Reserve can spark conversation during a van visit. Twineham is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, a nice prompt for residents’ memories of days out.

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Access the van can manage
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Which station is closest to Twineham?
The closest is Burgess Hill station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Is Twineham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Which areas do you serve?

What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
