Planning for dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs
  • Let your neighbours know

Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Organising a club, school or community event in Middleton Stoney? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

FAQs for Middleton Stoney

Which station is closest to Middleton Stoney?

Heyford station, about 3.2 miles west of the centre.

We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

Do we need to provide anything?

Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Can you park at our house?

It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.

Can the van come to our street party?

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Do you come to Middleton Stoney?

Yes, we do. Middleton Stoney is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.

What happens on the day

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. A summer party in Middleton Stoney 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. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Ensure the van can get in
