Takeaway run or book a van?
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 Christmas party.
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.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Beacon Hill?
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes

Common questions in Beacon Hill
Do you come out to small places like Beacon Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park in The Flashes?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
