Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Stone Street
We park close to the entrance or garden, away from emergency routes. Popular choices include cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for family days and themed afternoons.
Near Stone Street, residents may not get out much, so a van visit is a big occasion. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Check the spot with your manager
- Ask about smaller portions
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We set up before the mealtime.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
