Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Garden visits in Nash work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
