FAQs for East Hanney
How far is East Hanney from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is East Hanney too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
