Common questions in Goodley Stock
Is Goodley Stock close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Goodley Stock?
Hurst Green station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What affects the price in Goodley Stock
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu
- The minimum booking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Expected numbers
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll quote on that. To start, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For event organisers in Goodley Stock
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

What happens on the day
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.
