Care home fish and chips for Hyde events
About our care home fish and chips in Hyde
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Typical bookings include lunch clubs and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, with pie and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Around Hyde, homes often have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 normally simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Hyde? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December visits in Hyde are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 4:00pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
