Care home fish and chips in Hunton, fried fresh
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater day centre treats and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.
Rural care homes near Hunton can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Access the van can manage
- Away from bedroom windows
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Hunton suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.

Hunton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Hunton?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far is Hunton from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

It depends on the road. 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.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
