Common questions in Great Tew
Do you come out to small places like Great Tew?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Great Tew close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Business events near Great Tew
Great Tew is about 8 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. People in Great Tew book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We take the van to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Oxford, about 17 miles away.
Staff events anywhere in OX7 start with a parking spot for the van. Local streets include The Square, Old Road and New Road; a staff event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. If your venue is just outside Great Tew, we also cover Little Tew (1 mile south-west), Swerford (2 miles north-west), Wigginton (2 miles north), South Newington (3 miles north) and Church Enstone (3 miles south). We also serve nearby towns such as Banbury (8 miles north-east), Bicester (12 miles east), Witney (12 miles south), Carterton (15 miles south-west), Kidlington (11 miles south-east) and Bure Park (12 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Old Forge Museum (Great Tew) (under half a mile north) and Deddington Castle (4.9 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.
- Nearby, you will find The Falkland Arms Public House (less than half a mile north-west)
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s 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 normally the easier option.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule.
