How our care home fish and chips works in Lagness
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We’re often asked to cater a monthly fish and chip day and open days for families, serving cod and chips, gravy and sausage and chips.
Near Lagness, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
