Fresh fish and chips in Bellingham
Fish and chip van for events in Bellingham, cooked to order
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we are available. On the menu are chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering.
Events in Bellingham range from street parties and school fairs to markets and festivals. Organisers usually need council permission for public spaces, and we need a pitch the van can reach. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Bellingham questions
Which station is closest to Bellingham?
Bellingham station, in Bellingham itself.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bellingham?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- We cover Bellingham and the whole of Greater London

Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Bellingham, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
