How our fish and chip van for events works in Fulbrook
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. We are often asked to cater summer fairs and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, with chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
At a fête or show near Fulbrook, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. 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.

- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. In Fulbrook, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Fulbrook questions
How far is Fulbrook from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Fulbrook?
Shipton station, about 3.8 miles north of the centre.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
