Lower Beeding questions
Is Lower Beeding too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Trinity: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van come to Lower Beeding?
We do. Lower Beeding is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
A closer look at the menu
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
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.
