Events we cater in Tubney
A van is food and an occasion in one. The hatch becomes a meeting point, and the food is hot and plentiful.
In Tubney and nearby, the van turns up at all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:
- Fish and chip days at care homes
- Birthday celebrations
- Evening wedding food
- Village fêtes and school fairs
PTAs at schools such as Abingdon Preparatory School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long service runs, and what happens if you overrun
- Allergen information for each item
- When final numbers are due
- VAT, if it applies
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
