- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- Service time
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Midsummer parties in Lumley stay bright until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lumley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Lumley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lumley.
Do you come to Lumley?
We do. We serve events in Lumley and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Send us a photo of the drive
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
A few lights around the van look great.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lumley?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
