How our wedding fish and chip van works in Martins Heron
At informal weddings, the van can even serve the main meal. Most use it for evening food, when it really comes into its own. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and weddings in a marquee or garden, serving mushy peas, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.
For a smaller place like Martins Heron, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level, firm ground and a way in. Timings are planned around your wedding, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Late-night snacks from the venue can be small. Fish and chips fills people up. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Martins Heron: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Martins Heron?
Martins Heron has its own station: Martins Heron station.
Can you serve after a service at St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes. It is our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park near the barn?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

What else we do in Martins Heron
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Count suppliers working late
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
Think about cover by the hatch for wet evenings.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter weddings in Martins Heron are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your wedding. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability straight away.
Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How we price a fish and chip van for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
- Service time
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
