About our care home fish and chips in Ottershaw
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For fish and chip Fridays and care home summer fairs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, gravy and haddock and chips.
Care homes around Ottershaw are often in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
A chip van compared with other options
Activities are important; a van visit combines a meal with an activity. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
