Fish and chip van hire in Loxwood, cooked to order
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather doesn’t stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. We serve cod and chips, gravy and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for evening wedding food and festive get-togethers.
In a hamlet or village like Loxwood, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Occasions we serve in Loxwood
It needs no kitchen, so it works on drives, car parks and showgrounds where plated meals are hard.
Whatever the occasion in Loxwood, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. We are frequently booked for:
- Garden get-togethers
- Milestone birthday parties
- Weddings, especially the evening

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Late September evenings in Loxwood lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Loxwood questions
How far is Loxwood from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Loxwood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Loxwood?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
