DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Goose Green
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Goose Green questions
Is Goose Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Goose Green close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it’s one dish. A chip van gives a choice. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Sunset in Goose Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
