Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.

Billingbear: your questions answered
How far is Billingbear from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Billingbear?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Give us separate numbers for children
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why us?
- All the chip-shop extras
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A menu almost everyone likes
Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Midsummer parties in Billingbear stay bright until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
