Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Charing Heath
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy, and typical bookings are for a monthly fish and chip day and sheltered housing get-togethers.
At a rural home near Charing Heath, access matters so we can plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
