Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, the van cooks on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- No kitchen needed
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
