How the day works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your care home visit. For a summer visit in Tourner Bury, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
