How our care home fish and chips works in Brighton
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Whether it’s lunch for the care team and day centre treats, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Care homes in Brighton often have a car park or drive. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Brighton?
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What you get with us
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Brighton, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
