About our care home fish and chips in Turnpike Lane
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, away from emergency routes. Whether it is seaside days and residents’ celebrations, we can cook mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips and more.
For a care home in Turnpike Lane, a short stay in the car park works well, as agreed with the manager. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
