Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Cliffs End

Rural care homes near Cliffs End can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
