Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Wolvercote
Do you come out to small places like Wolvercote?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Wolvercote?
Oxford Parkway station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can the van come to Wolvercote?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Wolvercote is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Organising a club, school or community event in Wolvercote? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
