How our care home fish and chips works in Whitchurch
The van parks in the car park, on the drive or on a firm lawn, clear of ambulance access. Typical bookings include residents’ birthdays and anniversaries and lunch clubs, serving mushy peas, haddock and chips and gravy.
At a rural home near Whitchurch, access matters so we can plan the route. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your care home visit, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your care home visit. In summer, Whitchurch has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
