How our care home fish and chips works in Brockhill
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. Whether it is residents’ family gatherings and day centre treats, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
At a rural home near Brockhill, access matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
