How our Christmas party fish and chips works in Martins Heron
December bookings are planned for the dark and the cold: a well-lit spot for the van and the queue, and a quick, organised service. For new Year parties and festive family gatherings, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
At a festive party in Martins Heron, the van on the drive goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

What affects the price in Martins Heron
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Any minimum charge
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Martins Heron in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Gravy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

What’s the nearest station to Martins Heron?
Martins Heron station, in Martins Heron itself.
How far is Martins Heron from London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Yes, it is a popular stall. Contact us with the date.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you bring everything you need?

Can you serve children?
