Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. On the menu are gravy, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and we are frequently booked for themed afternoons and care staff treats.
Near Sandhurst Cross, residents may not get out much, 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 is handed over.
