Care home fish and chips in West Barnes, fried fresh
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on, so everyone can share the occasion safely. On the menu are pie and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater birthday treats for residents and themed afternoons.
In West Barnes, we park briefly in the home’s car park or drive, as agreed with the manager. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
