About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Count families who are joining in
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it’s hot.
Families love being included.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
What the van needs
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A lit spot for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
