About our care home fish and chips in Wichling
We park close to the entrance or garden, clear of ambulance access. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for summer fêtes and open days and visiting days.
Rural care homes near Wichling can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Everything is fried fresh at your care home visit, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
