Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Room service goes up covered and hot.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
What else we do in Cumnor
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
