Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask about smaller portions
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
What affects the price in Grayswood

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
