Fish and chip van for events in Godinton
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Common questions in Godinton
Do you trade at school fairs around Godinton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
