How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. December events in Luxted lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A queue area clear of rides and games
As a London location, Luxted is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
From the hatch
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- How easy the site is to reach
The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Display allergens for each stall
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
