Goudhurst: your questions answered
Is Goudhurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Planning the van’s spot

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Crew lunches

How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Goudhurst: sunset is about 3:55pm, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
