Care home fish and chips in Hadley, fried fresh
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Whether it’s retirement housing and sheltered schemes and themed afternoons, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Care homes in Hadley often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting for later visits
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- A level parking spot near the entrance
As a London location, Hadley is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. In summer, Hadley has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
