A chip van near Little Kingshill
The process
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In summer, Little Kingshill has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
