About our care home fish and chips in Kettle Corner
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. For day centres and lunch clubs and open days for families, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips for your guests.
At a rural home near Kettle Corner, access matters so we can plan the route. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Where the van can park in Kettle Corner
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Light near the van after dark

Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In summer, Kettle Corner has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
