Care home fish and chips in Swaile's Green, cooked to order
Your team knows your residents best, so we work with the home on portions and diets. For lunch for the care team and fish and chip Fridays, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.
Rural care homes near Swaile's Green can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Garden visits in Swaile's Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
