Hinksey Hill: care homes and access
Hinksey Hill is about 2 miles south-west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. People in Hinksey Hill book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Hinksey Hill is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van.
Old photos of Harcourt Hill can spark conversation during a van visit. A care home summer fair, perhaps with a church like Church of St Lawrence, is a good occasion for a van visit.
We cover care home visits in every part of the OX1 postcode area. From Betty Lane, Badger Lane and Hinksey Hill or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. If your venue is just outside Hinksey Hill, we also cover South Hinksey (1 mile north), Redbridge (1 mile east), Chilswell (1 mile west), New Hinksey (1 mile north-east) and Bayworth (1 mile south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Didcot (8 miles south), Bicester (13 miles north), Abingdon-on-Thames (3 miles south), Witney (11 miles north-west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (13 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include The Story Museum (1.8 miles north) and Westgate Shopping Centre (1.8 miles north). Within reach you will find Lashford Lane Fen and Harcourt Hill.

- Nearby, you’ll find The General Elliot pub (0.7 miles north)
- Other local spots include Alexander Library of Ornithology (2 miles north-east)
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Fit the visit around routines
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Check the spot with your manager
- Involve the kitchen and care team early
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
A bit of music from residents’ younger days helps.
