A chip van near Godden Green
Fish and chip van hire in Godden Green, fried fresh
Hiring a fish and chip van brings the chip shop to your door. We park up, heat the fryers and cook to order, so nothing sits waiting in a tray. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and village fêtes and school fairs.
In a small place like Godden Green, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Around midsummer it stays light in Godden Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- 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.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Godden Green
Can the van park in Knole Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
How far is Godden Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put allergy details in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which suits guests who do not eat pork. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
