How our fish and chip van for events works in Goddard's Green
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. Whether it’s horse and dog shows and sports club events and race days, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
A fête near Goddard's Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- Whether a minimum applies
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
