Fish and chip van for events for Godshill events
Fish and chip van for events in Godshill, fried fresh
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for sports tournaments and summer fairs.
At a fête or show near Godshill, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Godshill, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
