Care home fish and chips in Frogmore
Care home fish and chips in Frogmore, fried fresh
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. We are frequently asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and lunch clubs, with gravy, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.
Care homes around Frogmore are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

- Keep the van clear of emergency access

- Plan it with your catering manager
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Common questions in Frogmore
Which station is closest to Frogmore?
Sandhurst station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
Is Frogmore close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
