About our care home fish and chips in Woodside
Residents on soft or texture-modified diets need special care, which should come from the home’s own kitchen and care team. We serve haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we’re often booked for seaside days and residents’ birthdays and anniversaries.
For a care home near Woodside, tell us about lanes and the drive so we can plan the route. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
