What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. In Hedgerley Green, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a 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.

Care home fish and chips in Hedgerley Green, fried fresh

At a rural home near Hedgerley Green, access matters so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hedgerley Green?
