Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
