Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, Aspley Heath has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
