How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For a summer visit in Perham Down, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
