How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer visit in Brogdale, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
