Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 normally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
A short menu keeps the line moving.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Weston Otmoor: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Weston Otmoor?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Is Weston Otmoor close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What can crew choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where does the van go on location?
Typically, if there is level, firm ground. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We expect changes. Keep us updated and we will adapt.
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.
How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Long summer days in Weston Otmoor, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
