Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Highmoor Cross
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. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for day centres and lunch clubs and care home summer fairs.
For a care home near Highmoor Cross, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Highmoor Cross suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
