Glympton questions
Do you come out to small places like Glympton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Glympton close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
What time is best for the van?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Glympton weddings: local tips
Glympton is about 9 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Bookings in Glympton come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Glympton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Glympton to Oxford (about 12 miles away).
After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, which is where the van comes in. For guests travelling by train, Tackley station is about 3.6 miles away.
Weddings anywhere in OX20 start with a parking spot for the van and a serving time. Local streets include New Road and The Row; a wedding on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Put bins near the van
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
- Count suppliers working late
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Glympton, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
