Care home fish and chips for Long Sutton events
How our care home fish and chips works in Long Sutton
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Whether it is a monthly fish and chip day and open days for families, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Near Long Sutton, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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 typically simpler.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A route in without tight gates
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
