Fish and chip van hire for your event in Goodley Stock
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. For community events and fairs and festive get-togethers, we can cook curry sauce, mushy peas and gravy for your guests.
For a rural spot like Goodley Stock, the setting does plenty of the work. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Fewer choices mean faster service
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Planning an evening event in Goodley Stock? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Name one person we can call on the day

For event organisers in Goodley Stock
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- How easy the site is to reach
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Goodley Stock?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so the batter is still crisp. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book with us
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Classic food your guests already know
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Goodley Stock questions
How far is Goodley Stock from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
We’re gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
