Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your care home visit. For a summer visit in Wick, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Questions from Wick
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Do you do residents’ portions?

Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
