We are not sure how this is possible, but there are only four WK quiz nights left in 2026!!! Our quiz nights are super popular and they will always sell out, so this is your reminder to get yourselves booked in. Chris brings the entertainment, we cook the burgers and you bring the fun vibes!!!

*Please note that our September quiz is on Friday 4th September and not the Saturday as a one off*

Just a heads up that the walk around the lake and Wanda's quest will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 13th July) and Wednesday 14th July, due to a large event on site!

We are so sorry for the inconvenience caused, normal service will resume on Thursday.

On another note, if you think your business or team would love a day of water activities Oxford Wet N Wild followed by a slap up BBQ provided by us, get in touch!!!

Update this event is now sold out!!!

You all asked for another one!! And so we are doing it. Our next evening of mediumship with Sharon Higginson will be on Friday 25th September.

Tickets are available to purchase on the website now! This did sell out within a day last time, so we do recommend being fast: https://www.thewanderingkitchen.co.uk/event-details/an-evening-of-mediumship-with-sharon-higginson-2

We will also have some fantastic tarot readers and a crystal stall for before and after Sharon's demonstration. Once you have purchased a ticket, you will receive an email about how to book a tarot reading (there will be an additional cost for the tarot readings).

If you haven't heard, where have you been? There is a mega heat wave heading our way!! 🫠

So from tomorrow (Tuesday 23rd June) until Saturday (27th June) we are reducing our menu a little bit, so that we don't have to have so many heat producing pieces of equipment on at the same time in the kitchen. We don't have air conditioning and don't currently have the infrastructure to put it in (we are working on that) and we want to do what we can to look after our staff and make sure they are comfortable but also serve our fab customers too.

So there will be no beef burgers, wild boar burgers, steak sandwiches, cheesy chips, soup or pies available during our lunch time service. Our Thursday evening menu of burgers and salads will remain the same as this is already a reduced menu.

I am just going to add not just for us but for all of the catering industry right now, please be nice to our staff over the next few days. It is going to be really hot for them. A lot of us and the rest of the UK is adjusting to these increased temperatures, but a lot of us work in buildings that were not made for air conditioning. We ask you for some grace to allow us to adjust menus or whatever we need to do to make things better for our staff. If you can't get your beef burger this week, you will be OK, our chicken burger is very good too, you will like it.

We really appreciate your patience and kindness in advance!!🙏

Extremely warm regards,

Jo & Ed
