About our care home fish and chips in West Peckham
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and a monthly fish and chip day.
At a rural home near West Peckham, access matters so we can plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Count families who are joining in
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
