Common questions in New Hinksey

What’s the nearest station to New Hinksey?

Oxford station, about 1.3 miles north-west of the centre.

How far is New Hinksey from London?

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

When should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What can staff choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do we need to provide anything?

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

What happens if it rains?

The weather doesn’t 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.

What happens on the day

We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Lunchtime bookings in New Hinksey are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Give us a contact for the day

Food your guests will love

Pie and chips

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
