About our care home fish and chips in Worthing
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for day centre treats and residents’ family gatherings.
Care homes in Worthing frequently have a car park or drive that suits the van. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Worthing: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Worthing?
West Worthing station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Worthing?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do regular visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. December visits in Worthing are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:20pm.
- You share 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
