Care home fish and chips in Wimbledon Chase, fried fresh
Fish and chips stirs happy memories for many older people. A van visit turns a meal into an event. We are often asked to cater lunch clubs and lunch for the care team, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
In Wimbledon Chase, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit

Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it is hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
