About our fish and chip van hire in Bockmer End
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. The van parks up, the fryers go on and everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We are often asked to cater garden get-togethers and christmas parties, with curry sauce, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In a small place like Bockmer End, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Bockmer End questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
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. Send us the address.
Do you come to Bockmer End?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Bockmer End is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. By late September, sunset in Bockmer End is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
