Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
