About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
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.

What’s the nearest station to Appleford-on-Thames?

How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.

Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
