- Access and parking
- The number of meals

What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Golden Green
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. Typical bookings include feeding event crew and summer fairs, with chips, sausage and chips and curry sauce.
Rural events near Golden Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, events in Golden Green stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Golden Green questions
Do you come out to small places like Golden Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Golden Green?
The closest is Beltring station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
