Care homes around The Warren are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 is crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
