About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Lindford: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Lindford from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Lindford is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 4:00pm, suit 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 plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
