How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Garden visits in Batt's Corner work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Batt's Corner
Is Batt's Corner close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
