The countryside around Southampton includes Netley Common.
Care settings across Southampton
Across Southampton, care homes, retirement housing and day centres book van visits. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered side for the queue.
Southampton: Old photos of Netley Common can spark conversation during a van visit. If your residents have links with Saint Mary's, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit. For a summer visit in Southampton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Make it a regular event.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home.
What your quote should include
- Any minimum charge
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- The van’s size and access needs
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Away from bedroom windows
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
What affects the price in Southampton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The address or venue name
Each quote is put together for your care home visit. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Questions from Southampton
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Southampton included. Find your area.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
