How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a summer visit in Upper Horsebridge, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
