Care home fish and chips in Aaron's Hill, cooked to order
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We are often asked to cater day centres and lunch clubs and residents’ family gatherings, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a care home in a place like Aaron's Hill, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What else we do in Aaron's Hill
Aaron's Hill: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Aaron's Hill?
The closest is Godalming station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Aaron's Hill, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
