DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it is hot.
