Care home fish and chips in East Wittering

Care home fish and chips in East Wittering, fried fresh

The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches at the home and family days, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.

Around East Wittering, homes often have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
  • Plan how food reaches residents indoors
  • Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
  • Choose a spot away from ambulance routes

Room service goes up covered and hot.
