Fresh fish and chips in Goodley Stock
How our film set catering works in Goodley Stock
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a clear route in. Typical bookings include wrap parties and music video shoots, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a shoot in a place like Goodley Stock, tracks and soft ground need checking. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Put allergy details in writing
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A chip van wrap party is a great way to finish a shoot.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Goodley Stock ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

FAQs for Goodley Stock
How far is Goodley Stock from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Goodley Stock too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

Yes, and crews love it. Tell us the details.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and children love it.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
