Care home fish and chips in Beenham Stocks, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We’re often asked to cater visiting days and friday fish and chip treats, serving gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Rural care homes near Beenham Stocks can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Prices and what affects them
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
