About our care home fish and chips in Broad Green
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for friday fish and chip treats and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.
Care homes in Broad Green often have a small car park or drive, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
