About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
What you get with us
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A clear quote before booking
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
