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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Lyne: your questions answered
How far is Lyne from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
