How our care home fish and chips works in Hurst
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Typical bookings include open days for families and residents’ celebrations, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
At a rural home near Hurst, access matters. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. The frying and serving are down to us. For a summer visit in Hurst, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
