North Baddesley questions
Which station is closest to North Baddesley?
Romsey station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Is North Baddesley close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can you come every month?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
