About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why us?
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
