Care home fish and chips in Shepperton, fried fresh
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents, and we plan that with you. We’re frequently asked to cater fish and chip Fridays and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries, serving gravy, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Shepperton, care homes, a chip van visit is a real treat. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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.
