Questions from Ufton Nervet
Could you trade in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?

Which station is closest to Ufton Nervet?
The closest is Aldermaston station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
