FAQs for Beenham Stocks
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How far is Beenham Stocks from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you come to Beenham Stocks?
We do. Beenham Stocks is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. A van cooks on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.

Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Beenham Stocks in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

What to look for in a quote
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- The van’s size and access needs
- The deposit and payment dates
- When final numbers are due
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Put allergy details in writing
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
What affects the price in Beenham Stocks
