How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. In Stoughton, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
