Staff lunches in Woodway: access and travel

Woodway is about 4 miles south of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. People in Woodway book us for all sorts of reasons, but it always starts the same way: a level spot for the van, a time to eat and food fried to order. We serve all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 13 miles away.

Historic houses near Woodway include Brightwell Manor (5 miles north-east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. Woodway sits roughly 49 miles from central London. With the North Wessex Downs National Landscape within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

Diets, allergies and planning

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:

  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Have a back-up for special diets

Send a message round when the van opens.

Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What you get with us

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Woodway

Questions from Woodway

Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

What’s the nearest station to Woodway?

The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.4 miles away.

What food do you serve?

Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

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 soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Is grass a problem?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Which areas do you serve?

We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.

What a fish and chip van costs

The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:

  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Service time
  • Access and parking

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Before you choose a spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A short walk from the party

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Staff lunches
  • Sausage and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Cod and chips

For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
