DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Consider a pre-order list
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. After-work summer events in Marsh Benham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

FAQs for Marsh Benham
Could you trade in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Marsh Benham?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
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’ll advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Service time
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
