Little Coxwell questions
How far is Little Coxwell from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Little Coxwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Residents usually gather round the hatch once service starts. For a summer visit in Little Coxwell, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
