Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
