Care home fish and chips in Westergate, cooked to order
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. For fish and chip Fridays and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a care home in a place like Westergate, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Count families who are joining in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. December visits in Westergate are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand

Care home visits in Westergate
Westergate is about 3 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. From the centre of Westergate to the outskirts, the service works the same way: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Westergate is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Westergate to Brighton (about 23 miles away).
If your residents have links with Westergate Mission Hall, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.

The coast is within about 4 miles, and a van visit brings back seaside memories.
For care home visits in PO20, we just need to know where the van can park and a serving time.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
Send us the date, the address or PO20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.

Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Not blocking ambulance bays

Westergate: your questions answered
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
