Fish and chip van hire in Four Marks, cooked to order
You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. Whether it’s evening wedding food and staff lunches and team days, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
There may be a hall or club near Four Marks if the drive is small; the van can work at any of them, with permission. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Plan bins near the queue
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and stay in touch about any changes.

The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.6 miles away.
How far is Four Marks from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve at the time you want.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
