About our care home fish and chips in Westwood
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which the home’s own team prepares or advises on. On the menu are cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater sheltered housing get-togethers and care staff treats.
Near Westwood, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
