FAQs for Uffington
Is Uffington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

About 63 miles from central London.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Fish and chip van for events in Uffington, fried fresh

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors usually gather round the hatch once service starts. December events in Uffington lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
