Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Marshborough: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Marshborough?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Marshborough?
Sandwich station, about 1.7 miles east of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Gravy

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A summer party in Marshborough stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
