Fish and chip van hire for your event in Godshill
The menu is short and classic: fish and chips, sausages and pies, plus the sides everyone expects. A short menu keeps the food fresh and the queue moving. Whether it is garden get-togethers and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
In a small place like Godshill, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:

- How far we travel
- The day of the week

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Around midsummer it stays light in Godshill until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are generally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Make sure the van can get in
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
- 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
