A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how the base is left

- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Questions from Middle Aston
What’s the nearest station to Middle Aston?
Heyford station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Is Middle Aston close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Many locations are miles from shops. A van brings lunch to base. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
