Care home fish and chips in Wingham Green, fried fresh
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families are welcome too. Typical bookings include seaside-themed afternoons and residents’ family gatherings, with pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
For a care home near Wingham Green, tell us about lanes and the drive. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Garden visits in Wingham Green work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing

- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Room service goes up covered and hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
