Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Mott's Mill
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. We are often asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and summer fêtes and open days, with cod and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Rural care homes near Mott's Mill 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, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
