How our care home fish and chips works in Lower Beeding
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. For open days for families and themed afternoons, we can cook haddock and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Rural care homes near Lower Beeding can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
