About our care home fish and chips in Winchmore Hill
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for care home summer fairs and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
In Winchmore Hill, care homes generally have limited parking, so we plan a spot that keeps emergency access clear. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Common questions in Winchmore Hill
Could you trade in Grovelands Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Winchmore Hill?
