Takeaway run or book a van?
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 is crisp.

Step by step
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Frimley Green suit lunchtime.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
