Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Brandfold
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. For seaside-themed afternoons and birthday treats for residents, we will put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips and more.
Rural care homes near Brandfold can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Garden visits in Brandfold work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
