Care home visits in Chipping Norton

We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 19 miles away.
With the A44 and A361 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. Some homes in Chipping Norton have links with a local church such as Church of St Mary, and a van visit can be part of a summer fête.
We take the van to care home visits all over the OX7 postcode area and the streets around it. We can serve a care home visit on streets such as Cattle Market, Market Place and High Street, as long as there’s somewhere for the van. Chipping Norton sits on or near the A44 and A361, so getting the van to your care home visit is simple.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your care home visit.
