A chip van compared with other options

What’s the nearest station to Godstone?
Godstone station, about 2.2 miles south of the centre.

Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Godstone is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, rough numbers and when you’d like the food.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service is finished, leaving the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
