How our party fish and chip van works in Godden Green
Birthdays, garden parties, anniversaries and christenings all suit a fish and chip van. Everyone from toddlers to grandparents knows what they’re getting. We’re frequently asked to cater kids’ birthday parties and retirement parties, serving gravy, curry sauce and cod and chips.
In a small place like Godden Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Let your neighbours know
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Plan cover in case of showers.
Working with your venue
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.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Why us?

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
