Whiteley Bank questions
Do you come out to small places like Whiteley Bank?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
