A chip van near Worth
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Worth: your questions answered
Is Worth too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Worth close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can everyone take part?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen, following their care plans.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Sunset in Worth is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
