We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
