Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. With darkness by about 4:00pm in December, winter van visits in Woolbeding suit lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day
