Why choose a fish and chip van in Lamport?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

How it works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Planning an evening event in Lamport? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- 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 your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Events we cater in Lamport
There is no kitchen needed, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
Whatever the occasion in Lamport, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Community events and fairs
- Milestone birthday parties
- Care home visits
- Wakes and gatherings after a funeral
Parks such as Stowe Park and Garden generally need permission from the council or landowner for a catering van, so check first.
Comparing caterers
- How late numbers can change
- The deposit and payment dates
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Any minimum charge
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Put allergy details in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Questions from Lamport
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm the menu.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
