Care home fish and chips in Winchelsea, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We are frequently asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Winchelsea, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
