Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Beckley
Can the van park in Katie and George Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is Beckley too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Beckley
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. On the menu are pie and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are regularly asked to cater celebrating a big win and friday lunch treats.
Rural businesses around Beckley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
What affects the price in Beckley
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A photo of the parking spot
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Summer events after work in Beckley have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 9:00pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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 staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
Getting a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
