Care home fish and chips in Brighton Hill
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, Brighton Hill has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
