Fish and chip van hire in Farley Wood, fried fresh
Fish and chip van hire means the chip shop comes to you. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. We serve haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden get-togethers and wakes and celebrations of life.
For a place the size of Farley Wood, your own drive is often the best spot: no hire fees, and fish and chips for everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Let us know how the van reaches the house. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Common questions in Farley Wood
Is Farley Wood close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mark: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. Find your area.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Frequently, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Planning an evening event in Farley Wood? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

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 you get to enjoy the day.
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.
