Common questions in Ufton Nervet
Can the van park in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ufton Nervet.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Is it a full meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Around midsummer it stays light in Ufton Nervet until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
