The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Sunset in Upper Heyford drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- A photo 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.

Questions from Upper Heyford
How far is Upper Heyford from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Heyford Park Chapel?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you cover Upper Heyford?
Yes, we do. Upper Heyford is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Have a back-up for special diets
Put bins and napkins near the hatch.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
