How our fish and chip van hire works in Marlow Common

In a rural place like Marlow Common, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Marlow Common, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
