Questions from Leafield
Which station is closest to Leafield?
The closest is Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
How far is Leafield from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Care home fish and chips for your care home visit in Leafield
Some residents come out to the van; others watch from inside, and families can join in. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for seaside days and retirement housing and sheltered schemes.
Near Leafield, residents may not get out much, so a chip van visit is a special day. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What affects the price in Leafield
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
Staff carry plates to residents who can’t come outside, while it is hot.
Make it a regular event.
