Questions from Woking
Could you trade in Hoe Valley Linear Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Woking?
Woking station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a summer visit in Woking, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
