About our care home fish and chips in Fleet Marston
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We’re often asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, with haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Near Fleet Marston, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
