Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Golden Green, cooked to order

- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A short walk from the party
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Golden Green
Is Golden Green close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Is Golden Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can the van come to Golden Green?
We do. Golden Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where will the van go on our site?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
