Care home fish and chips for Warner Estate events

Planning for dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
  • Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
  • Count families who are joining in
  • Plan it with your catering manager

Afterwards we pack up quietly.

A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

How our care home fish and chips works in Warner Estate

Monthly or seasonal visits become a highlight in the calendar. Typical bookings include residents’ celebrations and care home summer fairs, with cod and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips.

For a care home in Warner Estate, a short stay in the car park works well. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Step by step

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Garden visits in Warner Estate work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

A closer look at the menu

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Warner Estate

Could you trade in Lloyd Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.

Is parking a problem for the van in Warner Estate?

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.

How do you handle allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

What happens if it rains?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How fast is service?

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.

Do you need power or water?

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.

Where should the van go?

Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.

Do you take everything away?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
