About the food

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

The process

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. It gets dark in Marden's Hill by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.

  1. We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

How to get a price

Planning help

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Agree the spot with the venue
  • Confirm allergies by email

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Do you come out to small places like Marden's Hill?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Is Marden's Hill close to London?

Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

What time is best for food?

Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

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.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How early do Christmas dates go?

As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.

What do you bring?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
