Marden's Hill questions
Is Marden's Hill close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St John's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Marden's Hill
It feels like a treat, but stays relaxed: paper portions of fish and chips in the garden. We are often asked to cater retirement celebrations and garden parties and summer get-togethers, serving pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In a small place like Marden's Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
