Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in New Barnet
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. We are frequently asked to cater day centre treats and family days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For a care home in New Barnet, a short stay in the car park works well. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Questions from New Barnet
What about parking in New Barnet?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Victoria Recreation Ground?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you come every month?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Do you have a kids’ option?
