Fish and chip van for events for Martins Heron events
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Martins Heron

How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Martins Heron are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
