About our care home fish and chips in West Bedfont
Smaller portions and plates with cutlery suit many residents. On the menu are cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for open days for families and care staff treats.
For a care home near West Bedfont, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
