Fresh fish and chips in Shorne
Care home fish and chips in Shorne, cooked to order
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. For residents’ celebrations and a monthly fish and chip day, we’ll put together a menu of gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Shorne, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. 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.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Questions from Shorne
Do you come out to small places like Shorne?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
