FAQs for Oving
Which station is closest to Oving?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.
Is Oving too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
Where will the van park?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you come to Oving?
Yes, we do. Oving is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- With the serving side away from windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
