The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Ufton Green suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it’s hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
