Care home fish and chips in Sheldwich Lees, cooked to order
A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. Popular choices include haddock and chips, gravy and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for retirement housing and sheltered schemes and family days.
Rural care homes near Sheldwich Lees can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
