How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Sunset in Lymore drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

FAQs for Lymore
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
