Party fish and chip van in Goddington
Party fish and chip van for your party in Goddington
The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. For birthday parties and anniversary celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, gravy and pie and chips for your guests.
Most parties in Goddington are at home, and in London that usually means a drive or street parking. If you have a drive, the van can frequently go there; if not, check the street’s parking rules. A photo helps. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
