Fish and chip van for events for your event in Martyr Worthy
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Whether it’s community open days and fish and chip supper nights, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, sausage and chips and chips and more.
For a village fête or field event near Martyr Worthy, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch

What affects the price in Martyr Worthy
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- The number of meals
- Parking and the way in
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Martyr Worthy?

Questions from Martyr Worthy
Is Martyr Worthy too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Martyr Worthy?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Martyr Worthy have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
