Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Horseport
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Popular choices include haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and seaside days.
For a care home near Horseport, tell us about lanes and the drive. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. In Horseport, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
