About our care home fish and chips in Richmond
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for a monthly fish and chip day and residents’ family gatherings.
In Richmond, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

For a summer visit in Richmond, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

What happens if it rains?
