Care home fish and chips in Totteridge, fried fresh
Your team knows your residents best, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. Typical bookings include retirement housing and sheltered schemes and lunch clubs, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
In Totteridge, care homes usually have limited parking, so we agree a spot clear of ambulance access. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

What else we do in Totteridge
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
