A chip van near Tutt Hill
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
About our care home fish and chips in Tutt Hill
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. For visiting days and day centre treats, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and gravy for your guests.
Rural care homes near Tutt Hill can feel a long way from the seaside, so a chip van visit is a special day. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
