DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

How it works
You don’t 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. For a summer visit in Kingsfold, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, 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.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for residents.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch

Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Hot food handed straight over
