About our care home fish and chips in Yattendon
The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Typical bookings include seaside-themed afternoons and sheltered housing get-togethers, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Yattendon can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
