Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Highclere is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
