Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A route in without tight gates
- Light near the van after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
