How our care home fish and chips works in Ickham
Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight. We are often asked to cater seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
For a care home near Ickham, tell us about lanes and the drive. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Ask about smaller portions
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
