What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Goosey
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. We are frequently asked to cater food for volunteers and horse and dog shows, serving haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For a village fête or field event near Goosey, 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.

What happens on the day
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Goosey, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Common questions in Goosey
Is Goosey too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Goosey close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options before you book.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Arrange bins and waste collection
We set up before visitors arrive.
A few benches near the van help.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
