Beech Hill questions
Is Beech Hill too small for a chip van?
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 Swallowfield Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an end-of-day event in Beech Hill, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
