Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book with us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- Bookings across Oxfordshire, including Hungerford Green
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

- We start with a few details about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for family and friends.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
