What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.

Planning a Christmas party in Lyminster
Lyminster is about 1 mile north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Lyminster is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. We serve 371 places across West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 18 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Lyminster Primary School, suit a chip van. Christmas fairs at a church such as The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen can book the van as a hot-food stall. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Lyminster; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 2 miles of Lyminster, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Lyminster?
