A regular visit gives everyone something to look forward to in the calendar. Typical bookings include lunch clubs and retirement village events, with sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural care homes near North Street can feel a long way from the seaside, so a van visit is a big occasion. We cook inside the van, right where your residents are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan portion sizes with us
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Service fits around the home’s routines.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Access the van can manage
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Lighting for later visits

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
