Staff get a break from the usual routine, and something to look forward to. Typical bookings include summer fêtes and open days and lunch clubs, with sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
Rural care homes near Little Posbrook can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Little Posbrook questions
What’s the nearest station to Little Posbrook?
Fareham station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Little Posbrook?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can portions be smaller?
We will plan portions with the home.
For event organisers in Little Posbrook
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Garden visits in Little Posbrook work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
