About our care home fish and chips in Kennington
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. Typical bookings include open days for families and a monthly fish and chip day, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.
For a care home in a place like Kennington, a chip van visit is a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer visit in Kennington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
