Fish and chip van hire for Lillingstone Lovell events
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Is Lillingstone Lovell close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
