For planners, venues and organisers

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Common questions in Blackmoor
How far is Blackmoor from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Blackmoor?
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van gives people a choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Send us the date, the address or GU33 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Blackmoor stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Count children separately
- Check the street’s parking rules
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
