Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Hooe Common
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We serve gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater care home summer fairs and friday fish and chip treats.
Rural care homes near Hooe Common can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. December visits in Hooe Common are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
