Christmas party fish and chips in Marshborough, fried fresh
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. Typical bookings include boxing Day and New Year gatherings and christmas family parties, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a Christmas party near Marshborough, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything is fried fresh at your Christmas party, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Questions from Marshborough
How far is Marshborough from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Marshborough?
Sandwich station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Will the weather be a problem?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- December Fridays go first: book early
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Marshborough?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
