Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in North Oxford
What’s the nearest station to North Oxford?
The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is North Oxford close to London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
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.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer visit in North Oxford, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
