Food your guests will love

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Common questions in Foscot
Which station is closest to Foscot?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Foscot?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
