Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Godstow
How far is Godstow from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Godstow?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Godstow?
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 areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Godstow.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Garden visits in Godstow work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Away from bedroom windows
- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
On the menu in Godstow

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The date and time of year
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
