Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Marlow Common: your questions answered
Is Marlow Common too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Marlow Common?
Marlow station, about 1.9 miles east of the centre.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. An afternoon Christmas party in Marlow Common can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
