The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Sunset in Fulking is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a chip van is hard to beat in Fulking. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- A van that becomes part of the event

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
What affects the price in Fulking
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Your date and serving time
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

FAQs for Fulking
Can you serve after a service at The Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Fulking close to London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
