How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. A lunch-break van visit in Godstone is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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 staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Corporate fish and chip catering in Godstone, fried fresh
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater workplace fundraising days and a monthly Fish Friday, with haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Godstone, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before booking.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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 staff instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
For event organisers in Godstone
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
