DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Visitors are welcome if included in numbers.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
