About our care home fish and chips in Cassington
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for the care team and open days for families.

Cassington: your questions answered

We’ll plan portions with the home.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
