Care home fish and chips in Shurlock Row, cooked to order
Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and gravy, and we’re frequently booked for open days for families and day centre treats.
For a care home near Shurlock Row, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
