Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Jericho
Could you trade in Oxford University Parks?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Jericho?
Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van come to Jericho?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Jericho. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we will explain what we can offer; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options before you book.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Ask about smaller portions
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
