Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Lewson Street
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement housing and sheltered schemes and care staff treats.
For a care home near Lewson Street, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- With the serving side away from windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
