About our care home fish and chips in Faygate
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. For care home summer fairs and lunch clubs, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Faygate is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.

A chip van compared with other options
