Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Headington questions
Could you trade in Bury Knowle Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Headington from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
