Fish and chip van for events in Marsh Green, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. For fish and chip supper nights and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips and more.
At a field event near Marsh Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Working with your venue
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Common questions in Marsh Green
Do you trade at school fairs around Marsh Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Marsh Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Marsh Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
