What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In winter, it’s dark in Nether Worton by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:30pm.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Nether Worton
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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’s the nearest station to Nether Worton?
Heyford station, about 4.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Can someone else arrange it?
Yes, many families prefer that.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll work to your contact on the day.
Can the van come to Nether Worton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Nether Worton and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the wake.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
