A closer look at the menu

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Questions from Wantage
Is Wantage close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.

We take the van to 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 14 miles away.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Wantage by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
