The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Sunset in Martyr's Green drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van

Martyr's Green questions
Is Martyr's Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Martyr's Green parties: what to know
Martyr's Green is about 5 miles south of Weybridge, in Surrey. In and around Martyr's Green, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field, close to your guests. We cover all 395 towns and villages across Surrey. We serve events right across the region, from Martyr's Green to Guildford (7 miles away).
For guests coming by train, Effingham Junction station is about 1.2 miles away.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- How far we travel
- Service time
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
