Fresh fish and chips in Bradenham
How our care home fish and chips works in Bradenham
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. We’re frequently asked to cater birthday treats for residents and summer fêtes and open days, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Bradenham, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. 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’s handed over.
