Common questions in Lower Heyford
Is Lower Heyford close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Lower Heyford too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
