A chip van near Belgravia
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors normally gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Belgravia have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Fish and chip van for events for your event in Belgravia
When there’s hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include fish and chip supper nights and school fairs and sports days, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
In Belgravia, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Belgravia questions
Is parking a problem for the van in Belgravia?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can the van park in Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
What affects the price in Belgravia
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many people are eating
- Service time
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

- Set a time for helpers’ food

For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
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.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Belgravia?
Organisers book a chip van because it is one of the most popular stalls at any fête.
Whatever the occasion in Belgravia, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Community festivals
