Book the van in Shover's Green
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Shover's Green
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. We are often asked to cater care home summer fairs and themed afternoons, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
Near Shover's Green, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
