Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Middle Aston: your questions answered
How far is Middle Aston from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Middle Aston?
Heyford station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?

Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.

Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
