Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Beltinge
How far is Beltinge from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Bishopstone Cliffs?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Beltinge?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Beltinge is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you come to a street party?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Beltinge, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Planning help
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where you’d like the van to go
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your party, and we’ll quote on that. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac guests
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
