FAQs for Begbroke
What’s the nearest station to Begbroke?
The closest is Oxford Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How far is Begbroke from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Begbroke.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and usually costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
