About our fish and chip van hire in Luccombe Village
Fish and chips is generous food: big pieces of fish, crisp batter and a mountain of chips. It turns a meal into an occasion. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral.
In a rural place like Luccombe Village, fish and chips in a field feels just right. Let us know about access and ground conditions. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
For somewhere as remote as Luccombe Village, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
