How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your care home visit. We handle the cooking and serving. For a summer visit in Wrotham Heath, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with a few details about your care home visit.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for residents.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
