Common questions in Nuffield
Do you come out to small places like Nuffield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Nuffield lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- 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, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Nuffield?
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
