How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Plan your Christmas party in Goddards Green around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we serve
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Looking after everyone
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:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Choose a lit spot for the van
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Goddards Green questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How far is Goddards Green from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Food early on is generally wise. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Goddards Green?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van means no booking, no travel and no time off site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
