Lower Heyford: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Lower Heyford?
Heyford station, in Lower Heyford itself.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Heyford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
