Common questions in Weston Otmoor
Which station is closest to Weston Otmoor?
Islip station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Weston Otmoor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you offer repeat visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
