Care home fish and chips in Peppard Hill
How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Peppard Hill, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
