Questions from Wingrave
What’s the nearest station to Wingrave?
The closest is Cheddington station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Wingrave close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. For a summer visit in Wingrave, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
