Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Perry
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and gravy, and typical bookings are for residents’ celebrations and day centres and lunch clubs.
At a rural home near Perry, access matters so we can plan the route. 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.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
