Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Fit the visit around routines
- Share residents’ diets and allergies with us
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Families love being included.
Walton Hall: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Walton Hall?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Walton Hall close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
