Common questions in Broughton
How far is Broughton from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Broughton?
The closest is Woburn Sands station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Check the spot with your manager
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
Old seaside postcards and photos spark conversation.
