Questions from Beltring
Which station is closest to Beltring?
Beltring station, in Beltring itself.
Do you trade at school fairs around Beltring?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
About our fish and chip van for events in Beltring
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. Typical bookings include country shows and village fêtes and summer fairs, serving curry sauce, chips and haddock and chips.
Rural events near Beltring can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why Beltring hosts choose us
- Quick service from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event

Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in Beltring. In Beltring, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Share the timings for the day
