Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Adelphi
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We serve gravy, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for friday fish and chip treats and lunch for the care team.
In Adelphi, care homes typically have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Fit the visit around routines
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
Make it a regular event.

Is parking a problem for the van in Adelphi?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

- Not right beside residents’ rooms

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
