Fish and chip van hire for your event in Godstow

Whether it’s staff lunches and team days and garden parties and summer get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, gravy and curry sauce for your guests.

For event organisers in Godstow
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Fish and chips is best eaten straight away, so we fry to order as the queue moves.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Godstow questions
How far is Godstow from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Godstow?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Details that help
To speed things up, tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The spot you have in mind for the van
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and there is nothing warming on a chilly day. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why Godstow hosts choose us
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover Godstow and the whole of Oxfordshire
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

What else we do in Godstow
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
