Everton questions
What’s the nearest station to Everton?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Everton?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Taking residents out is a big undertaking. A van brings the treat to them. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
