DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
