DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Sibford Ferris suit lunchtime.
- First, tell us about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
