Fresh fish and chips in Fullerton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Fish and chip van hire in Fullerton, cooked to order
A fish and chip van works almost anywhere the van can park: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field. Whether it’s christmas parties and weddings and evening receptions, we can cook pie and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Fullerton, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
After service, we pack up.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Parks such as Longstock Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first. Churches such as Church of St Nicholas rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by usually does.

What happens on the day
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Light matters for evening service: around Fullerton, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day

Fullerton: your questions answered
How far is Fullerton from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fullerton.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where the van can park in Fullerton
If a spot is not suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it’s handed over. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
