A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Ask about smaller portions
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
Service fits around the home’s routines.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. In Wooburn Common, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
