Care home fish and chips in Hog Hatch, fried fresh
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Typical bookings include family days and open days for families, with gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
In Hog Hatch, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
What the van needs
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- Lighting for later visits
- Close to the garden or entrance
- Not blocking ambulance bays

FAQs for Hog Hatch
Could you trade in Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is Hog Hatch close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the van need?
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.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. December visits in Hog Hatch are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
