Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Martyr Worthy
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:

The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. An afternoon Christmas party in Martyr Worthy can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough 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.
