Fish and chip van for events in Godshill, fried fresh
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. Popular choices include cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater food for volunteers and horse and dog shows.
At a field event near Godshill, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Godshill
Is Godshill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Godshill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share pitch details
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Evening events in Godshill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
