What happens on the day
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Marsh Green, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

What affects the price in Marsh Green
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The address or venue name
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
For somewhere as remote as Marsh Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
FAQs for Marsh Green
Do you come out to small places like Marsh Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
