Common questions in Blewbury
How far is Blewbury from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Blewbury?
The closest is Didcot Parkway station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you come to Blewbury?
We do. We serve events in Blewbury and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, Blewbury has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Ensure the van can get in
