About our care home fish and chips in Hedgerley
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We’re often asked to cater open days for families and lunch clubs, with cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
At a rural home near Hedgerley, access matters so we can plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Hedgerley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hedgerley?
The closest is Gerrards Cross station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How far is Hedgerley from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

What affects the price in Hedgerley
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Garden visits in Hedgerley work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
Ask for a quote
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
