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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park
How far is Goldsworth Park from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Contact us with the date.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
