How our fish and chip van for events works in Belvedere
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it is charity fundraisers and community events and church fêtes, we can cook cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Belvedere, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share pitch details
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Information about power and water
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Belvedere is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an evening event in Belvedere, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

A chip van compared with other options

Belvedere: your questions answered
Can the van park in Lesnes Abbey Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Belvedere?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you come to Belvedere?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Belvedere is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Your date and serving time
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
