What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In summer, Great Tew has daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Away from emergency access
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
