Fish and chip van hire in Temple, 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 every portion goes out hot and crisp. Whether it is gatherings after a funeral and milestone birthday parties, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
In a small place like Temple, the van frequently parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Planning a chip van in Temple
Temple is about 2 miles south of Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. We serve events at drives, car parks, yards and venues around Temple and the surrounding area. Temple is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Temple to Reading (about 11 miles away).
If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Bisham Church of England Academy, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east, is the nearest station.
Anywhere in SL7, we can bring the van to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Streets in the area include Temple Lane, Bradenham Lane and Temple Mill Island, and the van can serve an event on any of them with a suitable parking spot.

Temple: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Temple?
Marlow station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to Temple?
Yes, we do. Temple is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What can guests choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How we price a fish and chip van
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is 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. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. In Temple, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Tell us how many children are coming
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
