Fish and chip van hire in Little Marlow, cooked to order
There is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. For garden get-togethers and evening wedding food, we can cook gravy, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a rural spot like Little Marlow, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Why Little Marlow hosts choose us

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Little Marlow is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
