About our care home fish and chips in Gold Street

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. In summer, Gold Street has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
