Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Common questions in Belmont
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Belmont?
The closest is Ore station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Winter fairs in Belmont are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
