FAQs for Sherfield on Loddon
Is Sherfield on Loddon close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Is Sherfield on Loddon too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can the van come to Sherfield on Loddon?
We do. Sherfield on Loddon is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Sherfield on Loddon, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
