Fish and chip van hire in Fulmer, fried fresh
There’s something generous about fish and chips: crisp batter, flaky fish and plenty of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. Whether it is garden parties and summer get-togethers and birthday celebrations, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Fulmer, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Fulmer questions
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Fulmer?
The closest is Gerrards Cross station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.

What else we do in Fulmer
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

What happens on the day

Around midsummer it stays light in Fulmer until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
