Care home fish and chips in Sutton Abinger, fried fresh

Rural care homes near Sutton Abinger can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
