How our fish and chip van hire works in Bepton
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. Fewer choices means fresher food and shorter waits. Whether it’s garden parties and summer get-togethers and wakes and gatherings after a funeral, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Bepton, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Bepton questions
Is Bepton close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
If you want something everyone will enjoy, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
