Party fish and chip van in Goosey, fried fresh
A chip van turns a party into an occasion without anyone being stuck in the kitchen. We park up, fry to order and hand it over hot. For christenings and naming days and get-togethers with old friends, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips and more.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- How far we travel
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Goosey
How far is Goosey from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Goosey too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
How the day works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a late-May party in Goosey, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
