Care home fish and chips in Bredgar, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Popular choices include pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for lunch for the care team and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
For a care home near Bredgar, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Away from bedroom windows
