Care home fish and chips in Paley Street
How our care home fish and chips works in Paley Street
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For sheltered housing get-togethers and a monthly fish and chip day, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
Near Paley Street, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
