Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Leafield
Do you come out to small places like Leafield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Leafield?
The closest is Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
