Where will the van park?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
