Fresh fish and chips in Russell's Green
What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In summer, Russell's Green has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How our care home fish and chips works in Russell's Green
Some residents need texture-modified food, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. We’re often asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and visiting days, serving haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Rural care homes near Russell's Green can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
