Ducklington: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Ducklington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ducklington from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Ducklington suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:30pm.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Ask for a quote
