How far ahead should we book?

Will the van fit on our drive?

Other occasions in Goddards Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What affects the price in Goddards Green
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- Any minimum charge
- Distance and any road charges

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
