Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Keymer suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
