Fresh fish and chips in Farley Hill
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Farley Hill, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
