About our care home fish and chips in Walton on the Hill
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. We are often asked to cater residents’ family gatherings and day centres and lunch clubs, with mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home near Walton on the Hill, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Step by step
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your care home visit. For a summer visit in Walton on the Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Walton on the Hill: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Walton on the Hill?
Tadworth station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
