Care home fish and chips for Fifield events
Care home fish and chips in Fifield, cooked to order
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We serve pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches at the home and friday fish and chip treats.
At a rural home near Fifield, access matters. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Fifield, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:10pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen

Room service goes up covered and hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
