How our care home fish and chips works in Brook
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it is care staff treats and residents’ family gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and sausage and chips and more.
For a care home near Brook, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Common questions in Brook
Is Brook too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Brook?
Witley station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before booking.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Organising a club, school or community event in Brook? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
