A chip van near Marshborough
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
About our fish and chip van hire in Marshborough
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a driveway, a car park, a yard or a firm field in and around Marshborough. Typical bookings include evening wedding food and wakes and celebrations of life, serving cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
For a rural spot like Marshborough, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Confirm allergies by email
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evenings in Marshborough stay light until about 9:15pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it is dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Numbers
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
FAQs for Marshborough
Could you trade in Ham Fen?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Both are on our menu; tell us which you’d like for your event.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
