Takeaway run or book a 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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Westdean, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Count families who are joining in
- Ask about smaller portions
- Fit the visit around routines
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

- Access the van can manage
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
