Questions from Longcot
Do you come out to small places like Longcot?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Longcot from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Count families who are joining in
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Organise staff to carry food in
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
What the van needs
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Not right beside residents’ rooms
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
On the menu in Longcot

What affects the price in Longcot
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.

You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
