A chip van near Goddington
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Goddington
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and retirement send-offs.
For offices in and around Goddington, the van generally parks in a car park, yard or loading bay, if the building allows it. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Hot food handed straight over
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- No surprises in your quote

For planners, venues and organisers

How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. A lunch-break van visit in Goddington is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

Where the van can park in Goddington
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
Goddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
