Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let your neighbours know

FAQs for Beacon Hill
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Beacon Hill close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beacon Hill.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?

Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
For planners, venues and organisers
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What a fish and chip van costs

- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
