Other occasions in Sepham Heath
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
