What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Garden visits in Popeswood work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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’s fried on the spot.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
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. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What you get with us

How far is Popeswood from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
