Middleton Stoney questions
What’s the nearest station to Middleton Stoney?
The closest is Heyford station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is short notice a problem?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer right away.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
