Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Nash
Which station is closest to Nash?
Adisham station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
