FAQs for Hulcote
What’s the nearest station to Hulcote?
The closest is Ridgmont station, roughly 1 mile away.
How far is Hulcote from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can you come every month?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Lighting for later visits
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- A route in without tight gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Hulcote

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
