Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Party fish and chip van in Godstone, cooked to order
With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. We are frequently asked to cater family celebrations after a christening and neighbourhood get-togethers, with cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.
Country parties near Godstone suit a chip van: fried fresh and eaten outside. Plan a firm spot in case it rains. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Godstone
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Godstone from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Tell the council about the van.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

- Where the van would park
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Allergies and diets you know about
Send us the date, the address or RH9 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. At midsummer, it’s light in Godstone until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
