What else we do in Warblington
Warblington: your questions answered
Is Warblington close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Warblington?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently 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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Check the spot with your manager
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting for later visits
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Not blocking ambulance bays
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
