How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event in Goosey. In Goosey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we clear up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Fish and chip van hire in Goosey, fried fresh
If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings, especially the evening and wakes and gatherings after a funeral.
In a hamlet or village like Goosey, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good pitch. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
