What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Baulking: your questions answered
Is Baulking too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Baulking from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Evening events in Baulking have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:

- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
