FAQs for Caulcott

What’s the nearest station to Caulcott?

The closest is Heyford station, roughly 1.6 miles away.

Is Caulcott close to London?

About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What does the van 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.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do you cover Caulcott?

We do. We serve events in Caulcott 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 generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.

Allergies and dietary needs

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Send us a photo of the drive
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Ask guests about allergies when they reply
  • Put allergy details in writing

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?

Hiring a hall and a caterer adds up. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What happens on the day

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party. A summer party in Caulcott stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Should I sort the food myself?

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
