Care home fish and chips in Hadley Wood, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. For retirement village events and lunch clubs, we will put together a menu of gravy, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Care homes in Hadley Wood often have a small car park or drive, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
