Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Caversfield
Which station is closest to Caversfield?
The closest is Bicester North station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is Caversfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes, with meals for texture-modified diets from the home’s own kitchen.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it is plated. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Caversfield suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:30pm.
