Party fish and chip van for Trotton Marsh events
Party fish and chip van in Trotton Marsh, fried fresh
A chip van also works for street parties, with the right permissions in place. Whether it’s anniversaries and engagement parties and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas.

FAQs for Trotton Marsh
How far is Trotton Marsh from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
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 picture if you are not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we will say what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
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.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Occasions we serve in Trotton Marsh
With a van, the host gets to enjoy the party. It’s also a bit of fun.

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Autumn and winter parties in Trotton Marsh get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.

Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Let your neighbours know

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
