How our care home fish and chips works in Warminghurst
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater fish and chip Fridays and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
Near Warminghurst, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents normally gather round the hatch once service starts. In Warminghurst, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.

What affects the price in Warminghurst
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Common questions in Warminghurst
Is Warminghurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van come to Warminghurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Warminghurst is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, use our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
