The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Goring drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance and any road charges
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
- The day of the week
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Details that help
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ensure the van can park legally
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Send allergies to us in writing
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, and serve as the party carries on.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
