Care home fish and chips in Stoke Goldington, cooked to order
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van in the car park makes mealtime an occasion. We serve gravy, cod and chips and mushy peas, and we are often booked for open days for families and staff thank-you lunches at the home.
At a rural home near Stoke Goldington, access matters. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

What else we do in Stoke Goldington
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Stoke Goldington, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:05pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
