Fish and chip van hire in Bellfields
Fish and chip van hire for your event in Bellfields
Few meals are as universally loved as fish and chips. That’s why a van works for so many kinds of event in Bellfields. Whether it’s gatherings after a funeral and christmas parties, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and pie and chips and more.
For a place the size of Bellfields, your own drive is frequently the best spot: no venue hire, and nobody stuck cooking. Tell us about access down the lane or drive. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Bellfields, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
How we price a fish and chip van
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Tell us about your event in Bellfields, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count children separately
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A short menu helps everyone
A short menu keeps service quick.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a fish and chip van gives people a choice of fish, sausage or pie, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
