Common questions in Bierley
Which station is closest to Bierley?
Shanklin station, about 5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Bierley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Ask about smaller portions
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
