Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:

- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Check the spot with your manager
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families

Families love being included.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Common questions in Littlemore
Is Littlemore close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Littlemore?
Radley station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
