Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside, while it is hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your care home visit. For a summer visit in Crown Wood, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
