A chip van near Lyneham
Party fish and chip van in Lyneham, fried fresh
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. Whether it’s neighbourhood get-togethers and family reunions, we can cook curry sauce, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Near Lyneham, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

How it works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Midsummer parties in Lyneham stay bright until about 9:30pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
What affects the price in Lyneham
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 typically simpler.
Who books party fish and chip van in Lyneham?
