Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Lucas Green
Is Lucas Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in Bisley and West End Commons?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lucas Green, cooked to order
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for thank-you lunches for the team and team away days.
Rural businesses around Lucas Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 normally simpler.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in Lucas Green, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
