Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask staff to pre-order
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
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’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What affects the price in Goose Hill
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- Any minimum charge
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote

- Allergies and diets you know about

How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Goose Hill, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
