Common questions in Little Wittenham
What’s the nearest station to Little Wittenham?
Appleford station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Can you come to a school fair in Little Wittenham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.

What else we do in Little Wittenham
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your event. At midsummer, events in Little Wittenham stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.
