How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Long summer days in Naphill, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Long shoots typically need a full catering unit. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van in Naphill
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A clear quote before you book

FAQs for Naphill
Which station is closest to Naphill?
Saunderton station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Naphill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
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 photo if you can.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Naphill.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
