What affects the price in Upper Wield
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in Upper Wield are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Common questions in Upper Wield
Is Upper Wield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Upper Wield close to London?
About 50 miles from central London.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
