- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.

Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Do you cover Chilworth Old Village?

What happens if it rains?

What about residents on soft diets?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
