How our care home fish and chips works in Meonstoke
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. For themed afternoons and summer fêtes and open days, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, mushy peas and cod and chips.
At a rural home near Meonstoke, access matters so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
