Fresh fish and chips in Godalming
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Godalming
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it’s customer days and leaving dos, we can cook pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips and more.
Around Godalming, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why us?
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No surprises in your quote
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Quick service from the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check with facilities where the van can park
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Godalming
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
