A chip van compared with other options
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Mockbeggar
Can the van park in Broomhill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Mockbeggar?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How does payment work for businesses?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to Mockbeggar?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Mockbeggar and across Medway. Send us your date to check availability.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What affects the price in Mockbeggar
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
