Book the van in Martyr Worthy
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Wedding fish and chip van in Martyr Worthy, cooked to order
Some couples book the van for the wedding breakfast at a relaxed, informal wedding. Most book it for the evening, when it is most welcome. We are frequently asked to cater second-day and after-party food and rustic farm weddings, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
A wedding in a small place like Martyr Worthy frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen, just firm ground nearby. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Martyr Worthy, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the photos.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
