Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light in Luccombe Village lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
