Care home fish and chips for Hart Plain events
About our care home fish and chips in Hart Plain
Residents can watch from the window or come out to the hatch, and families are welcome too. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for residents’ celebrations and lunch clubs.
In Hart Plain, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In summer, Hart Plain has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
