Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Book as early as possible for December
- Send round an allergy question
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December in South Hinksey means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What else we do in South Hinksey
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 guests 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.
South Hinksey: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like South Hinksey?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Raleigh Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
