How our care home fish and chips works in Ningwood
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For visiting days and day centres and lunch clubs, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and gravy.
For a care home near Ningwood, tell us about lanes and the drive. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
