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. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For event organisers in Cutteslowe
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
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.
Cutteslowe: your questions answered
Can the van park in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is Cutteslowe close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can everyone take part?
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.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
