FAQs for Oxford
Can the van park in South Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Oxford from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Plan cover for the queue
Keep the walk from the door to the van short, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van can be better value. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
