Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Bepton Common; park the van where there is good light.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Bepton Common
Is Bepton Common too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Bepton Common from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Bepton Common?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
