Beckley questions
What’s the nearest station to Beckley?
Winchelsea station, about 4.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Beckley close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, it’s light in Beckley until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
