Fish and chip van for events in Luccombe Village, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re often asked to cater church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and village fêtes, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and chips.
Rural events near Luccombe Village can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share pitch details
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your event. At midsummer, events in Luccombe Village stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
