Care home fish and chips in Crowthorne, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. We are frequently asked to cater lunch clubs and residents’ family gatherings, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For a care home in Crowthorne, a summer visit with residents in the garden is lovely. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Crowthorne, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

- A lit spot for evening service
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
