Care home fish and chips for Westerton events
Common questions in Westerton
Do you come out to small places like Westerton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Westerton close to London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Westerton?
We do. We serve events in Westerton and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How our care home fish and chips works in Westerton
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are often asked to cater residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and friday fish and chip treats, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Westerton, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

For event organisers in Westerton
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
Send us the date, the address or PO18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why us?
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- A quote that spells everything out
See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.

We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Westerton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
