Care home fish and chips in Fullerton, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. On the menu are haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re frequently booked for residents’ family gatherings and day centres and lunch clubs.
Near Fullerton, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan it with your catering manager
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside.
Make it a regular event.
Fullerton questions
Could you trade in Longstock Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Fullerton?
Andover station, about 4.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
