DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your guests
For somewhere as remote as Luccombe Village, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Chips

- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Autumn and winter parties in Luccombe Village get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Questions from Luccombe Village
We are gathering after a service at St Blasius Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Luccombe Village too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
