A chip van near Bovingdon Green
About our care home fish and chips in Bovingdon Green
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ celebrations, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Bovingdon Green, access matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
