Yarnton questions
Is Yarnton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Yarnton?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.

What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
