Fish and chip van for events in Goldsworth Park, cooked to order
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Typical bookings include club open days and agricultural and country shows, with chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
Summer fairs around Goldsworth Park are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What to tell us
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The date and time of the event
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
A chip van compared with other options
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No surprises in your quote

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Ensure allergen information is available
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter fairs in Goldsworth Park are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
