- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.

Burcot: your questions answered
Could you trade in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Burcot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you come to Burcot?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Burcot and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is normally wise, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Plan cover for the queue.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
