Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Speen

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
