Care home fish and chips in Winton, fried fresh

Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. We are frequently asked to cater retirement village events and care staff treats, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and gravy.

For a care home near Winton, tell us about lanes and the drive. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Working with your venue

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • The menu and how many choices
  • How long we serve
  • The date and time of year
  • How easy the site is to reach

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Send us the date, the address or BN26 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

FAQs for Winton

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Can you serve near the sea around Winton?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What do we need to supply?

Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Can you park at the home?

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Do you offer repeat visits?

We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Fit the visit around routines
  • Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
  • Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
  • List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.

Inviting families makes it even more special.

Where the van can park in Winton

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Not right beside residents’ rooms
  • Access the van can manage
  • A lit spot for evening service

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

What we serve

What happens on the day

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your care home visit in Winton. In summer, Winton has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
