Fulking: your questions answered
How far is Fulking from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to Fulking?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Fulking. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests generally gather round the hatch once service starts. A wake in Fulking in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
