How our care home fish and chips works in Lions Green
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. Whether it is a monthly fish and chip day and day centres and lunch clubs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips and more.
Rural care homes near Lions Green can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In summer, Lions Green has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
How to prepare

What the van needs

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
