Care home visits in East Anton

Anton Lakes is close by, a good starting point for a chat about days out. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like St Paul Church Centre, is a good occasion for a van visit.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In summer, East Anton has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
