A fish and chip van or other catering?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- Hot food handed straight over

Read our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
Planning a van visit in Riseley
Riseley is about 6 miles west of Yateley, in West Berkshire. For care home visits in Riseley, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass. Riseley is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Riseley to Reading (about 6 miles away).
A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of All Saints, is a good occasion for a van visit. For families visiting by train, Mortimer station is about 3.2 miles away.
Anywhere in RG7, we can fry fresh for your residents, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a care home visit at a home on Chapel Lane, Norton Road and Odiham Road, wherever the van can park. For care home visits just outside Riseley, we cover Swallowfield (1 mile north), Heckfield Heath (1 mile south), Heckfield (1 mile south), Beech Hill (2 miles north-west) and Bramshill (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Thatcham (13 miles west), Burghfield Common (5 miles north-west), Calcot (7 miles north-west), Shaw (15 miles west), Burghfield Hill (5 miles north-west) and Theale (7 miles north-west).

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
