Clanville: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Clanville?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Clanville from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
