How fish and chip van hire works in SL7
Keep it simple, or plan every detail: a van that serves as people arrive, or service at a set time. We will suggest what suits your event. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are often booked for Fêtes, fairs and school events and summer garden parties.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
What you will pay
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book our van
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A quote that spells everything out
- Hot food handed straight over

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Landmarks near Marlow
In Marlow, that can mean an event near Congregational Church, Butcher's Tap and Sir William Borlase's Grammar School, among other places. There’s a railway station in Marlow itself: Marlow station, handy for guests travelling by train. Nearby you’ll also find Eden (4 miles north) and High Wycombe Castle (4.1 miles north). The countryside around Marlow includes Carpenter's Wood.
Planning a chip van in SL7
Across SL7, we serve 3 towns and 14 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Marlow, Booker and Marlow Bottom to a quiet hamlet: firm ground, access and agreed timings.
Marlow: Within reach of Marlow are historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (2 miles south-west) and Cliveden (3.8 miles east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for vans, so check before booking. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Congregational Church, a nearby hall car park or drive suits the van. By late September, sunset in Marlow is around 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Organising a club, school or community event in SL7? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who don’t eat pork.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name

Planning the van’s spot

- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Common questions in SL7
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Which fish do you use?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
