Questions from Burcot
What’s the nearest station to Burcot?
Culham station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Could you trade in Nuneham Courtenay?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you come to Burcot?
Yes, we do. Burcot is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you park at the unit base?
Usually, if there’s level, firm ground. Locations will decide where.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Burcot: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- We start with a few details about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
