What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- Cod, haddock or both
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
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 party.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

Uffington: your questions answered
Is Uffington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Uffington close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
The process
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Uffington get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
