Party fish and chip van in Marsh Green, fried fresh

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Perfect for your party in Marsh Green
It is a real treat for guests, and people talk about it afterwards.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Garden get-togethers
- Naming days and christenings
- Retirement celebrations
- Engagement parties
Within reach of Marsh Green are historic houses such as Mottistone Manor (1.5 miles north-west) and Westcourt Manor (1.8 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on vehicles and caterers, so for most parties a home or hired hall is simpler.

Planning the van’s spot

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
For somewhere as remote as Marsh Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Marsh Green
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Marsh Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you cover Marsh Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Marsh Green is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
