Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Light matters for evening service: in Bellingdon, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Bellingdon questions
Is Bellingdon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, fry everything to order, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
After service, we pack up.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
