Sheet questions
How far is Sheet from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Sheet?
Petersfield station, about 1.1 miles south-west of the centre.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We will plan portions with the home.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
- Lighting for later visits
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

For a summer visit in Sheet, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
