Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Collect allergies in advance
- Flag any coeliac staff
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime bookings in Barton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day

FAQs for Barton
Could you trade in Bury Knowle Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Barton?
Oxford station, about 3.3 miles west of the centre.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
