What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Twelve Oaks has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
