Eversley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Eversley?
The closest is Crowthorne station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Is Eversley close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
