Fritwell is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover. Our bookings stretch from Fritwell to Oxford (about 14 miles away).
If your residents have links with Church of St Olave, a fête or open day together is a nice moment for a van visit.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing

Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray straight away.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What the van needs
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:
- With the serving side away from windows
- Close to the garden or entrance
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van turns it into an occasion. The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
