When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Aldermaston station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.
How far is Ufton Nervet from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will work around changes where we can.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Of course. Let us know total numbers.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.

Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

- Space in front of the hatch
- Light near the van if needed

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
