Fresh fish and chips in Goddington
Fish and chip van for events in Goddington, fried fresh
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. We’re frequently asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and crew and volunteer catering, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips.
London street parties and fairs in Goddington need careful planning around road closures and access. Send us the pitch and timings. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

- Space for a queue away from paths
Goddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Summer events in Goddington have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
How to get a price

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
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.
- 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
