About our fish and chip van hire in Lucas Green
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. Typical bookings include christmas parties and community events and fairs, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
In a hamlet or village like Lucas Green, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Care home visits
- Milestone birthday parties
- Garden get-togethers

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
For food that suits almost everyone, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

- Everything cooked to order at your event

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
A string of bunting by the van makes a lovely photo.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Light matters for evening service: in Lucas Green, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
