Woodstock: care homes and access
Woodstock is about 7 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We take a fish and chip van visit to drives, car parks, yards and venues around Woodstock and nearby villages. Woodstock is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Oxford, about 8 miles away.
With the A44 nearby, the home is easy for us to reach. Visitors arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Hanborough station, roughly 2 miles south-west of the centre.
For care home visits in OX20, we just need to know where the van can park. Streets in the area include Market Street, High Street and Briar Thicket, and the van can serve a care home visit on any of them with a suitable parking spot. Main roads around Woodstock include the A44, so getting the van to your care home visit is simple. If your venue is just outside Woodstock, we also cover Bladon (1 mile south), Bunkers Hill (2 miles north-east), Shipton-on-Cherwell (2 miles east), Thrupp (2 miles east) and Begbroke (2 miles south-east).

Woodstock: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Woodstock?
Hanborough station, about 2 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Woodstock close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Where should the van go?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer visit in Woodstock, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- Portions and diets are planned with your care team.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

For event organisers in Woodstock
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
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 generally simpler.
