How our care home fish and chips works in Saunderton
Some residents need texture-modified food, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement village events and fish and chip Fridays.
Near Saunderton, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. 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.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In summer, Saunderton has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
