How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, daylight in Godden Green ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:20pm.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Godden Green: your questions answered
Could you trade in Knole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Godden Green?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A van is great for short jobs and crew treats. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Something for crew to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
