How our care home fish and chips works in Mytchett
Many residents prefer smaller portions on a plate. Whether it is care staff treats and summer fêtes and open days, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
In Mytchett, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
