Care home fish and chips for Sundridge events

Step by step

We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For a summer visit in Sundridge, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Involve the kitchen and care team early
  • Organise staff to carry food in
  • Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
  • Share residents’ diets and allergies with us

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.

A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

For planners, venues and organisers

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Food your guests will love

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.

FAQs for Sundridge

Is parking a problem for the van in Sundridge?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Which station is closest to Sundridge?

Sundridge has its own station: Sundridge Park station.

Where can the van park?

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

What does it cost to hire the van?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.

Do you come to Sundridge?

Yes, we do. Sundridge is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is there something for children?

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Before you choose a spot

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Firm, level ground close to the home
  • A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
  • Away from bedroom windows

As a London location, Sundridge is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
