How our care home fish and chips works in Ripley
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. For residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and lunch for the care team, we can cook pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
Near Ripley, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
