Questions from Bellfields
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What will the production need?
Send us your supplier requirements.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Bellfields.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll adjust where possible.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter shoots near Bellfields chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day

A chip van compared with other options

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Access checked by locations
- Level, firm ground at base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch

- Cod and chips

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
