Care home fish and chips in Brook Street, fried fresh
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate, and we plan that with you. We’re often asked to cater seaside days and friday fish and chip treats, with cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
For a care home near Brook Street, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Brook Street, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:45pm and 7:00pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
