FAQs for Kingston by Sea
Could you trade in Benfield Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Kingston by Sea; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in

Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Put allergy details in writing
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
