Questions from Binfield
What’s the nearest station to Binfield?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
How far is Binfield from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
