About our care home fish and chips in Wendover

The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we plan portion sizes, timings and diets with the home. For care home summer fairs and visiting days, we can cook gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips.

Care homes around Wendover are frequently in converted houses with a drive. Let us know about the way in. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Where the van can park in Wendover

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
  • Not right beside residents’ rooms
  • Light near the van after dark

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

From the hatch

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.

Should I sort the food myself?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

The process

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Garden visits in Wendover work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. First, tell us about your care home visit.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for residents.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
