How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a summer visit in Argos Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Check the spot with your manager
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
Argos Hill: your questions answered
Is Argos Hill close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
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.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.

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 a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
