The care team knows each resident’s needs, so we work with the home on portions and diets. Typical bookings include day centre treats and retirement housing and sheltered schemes, with haddock and chips, pie and chips and gravy.
In York Town, care homes, a van visit brings a bit of the seaside to residents. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
