A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Where the van can park in Wootton
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Away from emergency access
- Firm, level ground close to the home
For somewhere as remote as Wootton, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
