Goddington questions
What about parking in Goddington?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you come to Goddington?
Yes, we do. Goddington is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
About our Christmas party fish and chips in Goddington
The cooking is inside the van, so the weather does not stop service. Typical bookings include festive family gatherings and depot Christmas treats, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
In Goddington, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your Christmas party, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- Check the van can park on site
- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Have a back-up for special diets
Plan cover for the queue.

What else we do in Goddington
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
Goddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
On the menu in Goddington
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. An afternoon Christmas party in Goddington can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
