About our corporate fish and chip catering in Marcham
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. For celebrating a big win and retirement send-offs, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.
Teams near Marcham frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Tell us about the site and access. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

What affects the price in Marcham
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. After-work summer events in Marcham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Space, access and the venue

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Marcham? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Marcham questions
How far is Marcham from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Marcham?
Radley station, about 4.4 miles east of the centre.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
