Bletchingdon questions
Which station is closest to Bletchingdon?
Tackley station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Bletchingdon from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you cover Bletchingdon?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bletchingdon is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
