How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In summer, Four Ashes has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Ensure the van can get in
