Fish and chip van for events in Marshborough, fried fresh
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. We’re frequently asked to cater sports tournaments and village fêtes, serving cod and chips, sausage and chips and chips.
Rural events near Marshborough can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Share pitch details
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree the terms in writing
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. For an evening event in Marshborough, sunset is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day

Questions from Marshborough
Can you serve near the sea around Marshborough?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you come to a school fair in Marshborough?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you come to Marshborough?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Marshborough and the rest of Kent. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
