Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Bentley Heath
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Typical bookings include a monthly fish and chip day and day centres and lunch clubs, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home in Bentley Heath, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
