Care home fish and chips in Linchmere, fried fresh
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. Whether it’s day centre treats and friday fish and chip treats, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home near Linchmere, tell us about lanes and the drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
