Fresh fish and chips in Launton
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Launton
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. Whether it’s birthday treats for residents and seaside days, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a care home near Launton, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
