Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What else we do in Midgham
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose care home fish and chips in Midgham?
It brings families in, which residents love.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Midgham book the van for events such as:
- Residents’ family gatherings
- Birthday treats for residents
- Care staff treats
- Retirement housing and sheltered schemes
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Matthew, is a good occasion for a van visit.
