Fresh fish and chips in Lyneham
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Fish and chip van for events in Lyneham, fried fresh
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. For village fêtes and summer fairs and church fêtes, we can cook haddock and chips, sausage and chips and chips.
At a fête or show near Lyneham, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Share pitch details
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
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:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
