About our fish and chip van for events in Goose Green
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Typical bookings include horse and dog shows and school fairs and sports days, serving chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At a fête or show near Goose Green, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A clear route onto the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Goose Green
Can you come to a school fair in Goose Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s the nearest station to Goose Green?
Yalding station, about 2.5 miles east of the centre.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
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.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
