How our care home fish and chips works in Faberstown
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. Whether it’s summer fêtes and open days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home near Faberstown, tell us about lanes and the drive. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Cannot 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
