Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Middleton
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Popular choices include gravy, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and fish and chip Fridays.
Around Middleton, homes often have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Middleton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
