Oxford station, about 0.9 miles south-west of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, and families love joining in.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
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.
