Questions from Grandpont
Which station is closest to Grandpont?
Oxford station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Could you trade in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to Grandpont?
Yes, we do. Grandpont is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Grandpont?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
