FAQs for Bekesbourne Hill
Is Bekesbourne 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.
Which station is closest to Bekesbourne Hill?
Bekesbourne Hill has its own station: Bekesbourne station.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Where the van can park in Bekesbourne Hill
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, events in Bekesbourne Hill stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
