FAQs for Bell Green
We’re gathering after a service at St Michael's and All Angels: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Bell Green?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you park near the barn?
Usually, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will agree the spot in advance.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Bell Green? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Where the van can park in Bell Green

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 typically the easier option.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Numbers
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

What happens on the day
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Evening food at a Bell Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.
