Party fish and chip van for Ufton Nervet events

What affects the price in Ufton Nervet

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • Whether a minimum applies
  • Service time
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • The number of meals

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

What to tell us

To speed things up, tell us:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • A picture of the parking spot
  • Your date and serving time

The more you tell us, the more accurate the 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.

Party fish and chip van in Ufton Nervet, fried fresh

Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. Typical bookings include family reunions and neighbourhood get-togethers, serving gravy, sausage and chips and pie and chips.

In a small place like Ufton Nervet, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

What happens on the day

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Midsummer parties in Ufton Nervet stay bright until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Let us know the serving time

The menu, dish by dish

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Organising for someone else?

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Questions from Ufton Nervet

What’s the nearest station to Ufton Nervet?

Aldermaston station, about 2.1 miles west of the centre.

Could you trade in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.

How far ahead should we book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

What about guests who do not eat fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can you cater for allergies?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Can the van park on grass?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Can you serve children?

Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. The van becomes part of the party. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
