Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Wytham
Is Wytham 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.
How far is Wytham from London?
About 56 miles from central London.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
