How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
To get a price, send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your shoot, and we will come back with availability and a quote.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- The location’s agreement
- A clear route to base
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
On the menu in Uffington

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, Uffington has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Uffington
Is Uffington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you come to Uffington?
We do. We serve events in Uffington and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
