Fresh fish and chips in Bellingham
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Fish and chip van hire in Bellingham, cooked to order
Because the cooking is in the van, the weather does not stop us. That makes it a safe bet for British events. We’re often asked to cater evening wedding food and staff thank-you lunches, with sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Streets in Bellingham are frequently tight, which makes off-street parking, such as a drive, a school playground or a car park, the easiest option. Send us a picture of the spot. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Where the van can park in Bellingham
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
As a London location, Bellingham is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

A chip van compared with other options
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, the host gets to enjoy the day. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Events in Bellingham and across Greater London
- Something for guests to gather round
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergies to us in writing
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Late September evenings in Bellingham lose the light at about 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat

FAQs for Bellingham
What’s the nearest station to Bellingham?
Bellingham has its own station: Bellingham station.
Can you serve after a service at St Dunstan?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
