Care home fish and chips in Hartfield, cooked to order

Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
