Fish and chip van hire for your event in Lewknor
The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People chat, the smell drifts across, and the food arrives hot. Whether it is care home visits and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of pie and chips, gravy and cod and chips.
Somewhere as small as Lewknor, a field, yard or drive is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, dry ground is the key. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Plan bins near the queue
A short menu keeps service quick.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

Questions from Lewknor
Is Lewknor too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Lewknor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lewknor is within our area. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Late September evenings in Lewknor lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
