Book the van in Tangley
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Care home fish and chips in Tangley, fried fresh
We visit care homes, retirement housing, sheltered schemes and day centres. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for family days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
Rural care homes near Tangley can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
