DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Questions from Longlane
Is Longlane 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 go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
What affects the price in Longlane
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Service time
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
Send us the date, the address or RG18 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
