Care home fish and chips in Meopham
A fish and chip van or other catering?

Care home fish and chips in Meopham, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. We’re often asked to cater friday fish and chip treats and lunch for the care team, with pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Around Meopham, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
