How our care home fish and chips works in Worth
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Typical bookings include care home summer fairs and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, serving gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Around Worth, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Tell us about access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Worth: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Worth?
The closest is Three Bridges station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Families love being included.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Space, access and the venue

- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Worth? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Worth, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
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.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
