How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Trotton Marsh
For a family gathering over Christmas, the van can come to you. We serve pie and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for end-of-year club parties and christmas markets and fairs.
For a Christmas party near Trotton Marsh, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Trotton Marsh; light the path to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Trotton Marsh
Is Trotton Marsh too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Trotton Marsh?
Liphook station, about 3.7 miles north of the centre.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Where the van can park in Trotton Marsh
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
