- It starts with your date, numbers and mealtime.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.

What else we do in St Clement's
Should I sort the food myself?
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 normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For event organisers in St Clement's
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from bedroom windows
- Close to the garden or entrance
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

St Clement's questions
Can the van park in Headington Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

The closest is Oxford station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
