Fish and chip van hire in Luxted, fried fresh
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. It is a dependable choice for events in any season. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for weddings, especially the evening and garden get-togethers.
London streets around Luxted can be narrow and lined with parked cars, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a photo of the spot. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What else we do in Luxted
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. Larger groups normally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why Luxted hosts choose us
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Classic food your guests already know
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Around midsummer it stays light in Luxted until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Luxted questions
What about parking in Luxted?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Which station is closest to Luxted?

What is fish and chip van hire?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
Do you cover Luxted?

What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Fewer choices mean faster service
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
How we price a fish and chip van
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices

- Access and parking
