How our party fish and chip van works in Martyr Worthy
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the hatch facing your guests. We’re often asked to cater leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, serving gravy, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Near Martyr Worthy, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, whether that’s a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Nothing for you to cook or clear

More for events in Martyr Worthy
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Events we cater in Martyr Worthy

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Martyr Worthy
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Swithin: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
