Common questions in Abingdon-on-Thames
What’s the nearest station to Abingdon-on-Thames?
Radley station, about 1.9 miles east of the centre.
How far is Abingdon-on-Thames from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What affects the price in Abingdon-on-Thames
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What we need to know
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
