Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Care home fish and chips in Laleham, fried fresh
For many residents, fish and chips brings back seaside trips and Friday nights. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We’re often asked to cater summer fêtes and open days and care staff treats, with cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In Laleham, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
For event organisers in Laleham
