Care home fish and chips in Bramley, fried fresh
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van visit turns a meal into an event. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and we’re regularly asked to cater residents’ family gatherings and care staff treats.
For a care home in a place like Bramley, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
