FAQs for Slutshole
How far is Slutshole from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you serve near the sea around Slutshole?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

We will agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.

About the food
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
