Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers

Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in for the van
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. Garden visits in Eversley Cross work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
