Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime staff treats in Aston Rowant are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Aston Rowant questions
Do you come out to small places like Aston Rowant?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
