Wedding fish and chip van in Goddard's Green
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Wedding fish and chip van for your wedding in Goddard's Green
The van parks near the marquee, barn or venue, and guests wander out to the hatch. It turns evening food into part of the celebration. Typical bookings include weddings with a seaside feel and barn weddings, serving sausage and chips, mushy peas and curry sauce.
A wedding in a small place like Goddard's Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a chip van shines: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Let us know about access and ground. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Goddard's Green questions
Is Goddard's Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Goddard's Green?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What time will you serve?
At the time you choose. After the first dance is the most popular time.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
How the day works

- We start with a few details about your wedding.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing sits out drying up. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
