Care home fish and chips in Mid Holmwood, cooked to order
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. For seaside days and lunch clubs, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
Near Mid Holmwood, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.

Mid Holmwood questions
How far is Mid Holmwood from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to Mid Holmwood?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Mid Holmwood and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
