Beacon's Bottom questions
Do you come out to small places like Beacon's Bottom?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Beacon's Bottom from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. At midsummer, it is light in Beacon's Bottom until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
