About our care home fish and chips in Garlinge Green

Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. On the menu are mushy peas, gravy and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and sheltered housing get-togethers.

At a rural home near Garlinge Green, access matters. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Questions from Garlinge Green

What’s the nearest station to Garlinge Green?

The closest is Chartham station, roughly 1.8 miles away.

Could you trade in Broadham Down?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Can you come every month?

Tell us how often you’d like a visit.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Can families and staff eat too?

Yes. Add them to your numbers.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

What comes out of the fryer

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Garlinge Green is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.

We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
We check where the van can park and send a quote.
We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
