Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Bagmore: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Bagmore?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
Is Bagmore close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
