Questions from Cowfold
How far is Cowfold from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Cowfold?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can you come every month?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Cowfold?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you come to Cowfold?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Cowfold. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. For a summer visit in Cowfold, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
