How our care home fish and chips works in Little Ann
Care homes, retirement housing and day centres all book visits. Typical bookings include residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and themed afternoons, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For a care home near Little Ann, 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 are up and running.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
