Care home fish and chips in Lambourn
How our care home fish and chips works in Lambourn
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For residents’ celebrations and staff thank-you lunches at the home, we can cook pie and chips, haddock and chips and gravy.
In Lambourn, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

A closer look at the menu

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week

- A picture of the space and the way in

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
