Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. December visits in Over Norton are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly and leave the space tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Over Norton questions

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
