Book the van in Uffington
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Uffington
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. We are often asked to cater staff lunches and team days and garden get-togethers, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a rural place like Uffington, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

The process
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In Uffington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
