Party fish and chip van for Lurgashall events
How our party fish and chip van works in Lurgashall
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp, not left out on a table for hours. We are frequently asked to cater get-togethers with old friends and street parties and neighbourhood events, serving cod and chips, gravy and haddock and chips.
In a small place like Lurgashall, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Lurgashall
Is Lurgashall close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Lawrence: 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.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. The van cooks right there. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
