About our care home fish and chips in Littleton Common
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch clubs and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
Rural care homes near Littleton Common can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Check the spot with your manager
- Count families who are joining in
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
Make it a regular event.
