A chip van near Lyneham
How our fish and chip van hire works in Lyneham
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Whether it is wakes and gatherings after a funeral and community events and fairs, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and sausage and chips and more.
For a rural spot like Lyneham, the setting does a lot of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Plan bins near the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 usually simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How the day works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. Planning an evening event in Lyneham? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
