The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer visit in Foxbury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Foxbury: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is parking a problem for the van in Foxbury?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
