How our care home fish and chips works in Stoke Poges
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Typical bookings include day centres and lunch clubs and care home summer fairs, with cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Around Stoke Poges, homes frequently have a drive and garden. Let us know about the way in. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
