FAQs for Nuffield
How far is Nuffield from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Fish and chip van hire in Nuffield, cooked to order

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. In Nuffield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Nuffield?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
