Common questions in Hedsor
Do you come out to small places like Hedsor?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Hedsor?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Where the van can park in Hedsor
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Lighting for later visits
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- With the serving side away from windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What to look for in a quote
- What the price includes, item by item
- If the price includes VAT
- What happens if plans change
- How allergens are handled
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Count families who are joining in
- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In summer, Hedsor has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
