How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In summer, Albourne Street has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- With the serving side away from windows
- A route in without tight gates
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
