Holmer Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Holmer Green?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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 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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
