Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Count children separately
- Show us where the van would go
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It is worth telling the neighbours.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Who books party fish and chip van in West Marden?
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.

- Milestone birthdays
- Leaving parties
- Engagement parties
- Garden get-togethers
Within reach of West Marden are historic houses such as Uppark (2.6 miles north). For most parties, a home or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict vehicle rules.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in West Marden
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to West Marden?
Rowlands Castle station, about 2.8 miles south-west of the centre.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in West Marden
We will give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- Numbers
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything awkward about the way in

Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Hot food handed straight over
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- All the chip-shop extras
- Classic food your guests already know

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. A summer party in West Marden stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
