Care home fish and chips in Woldingham Garden Village, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for open days for families and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.
At a rural home near Woldingham Garden Village, access matters so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Common questions in Woldingham Garden Village
Could you trade in Blanchman's Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Woldingham Garden Village?
Woldingham station, in Woldingham Garden Village itself.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Count families who are joining in
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Plan it with your catering manager
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
