How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit in Bullbrook. December visits in Bullbrook are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand

What we need to know

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
