A chip van near Goosey
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Wedding fish and chip van in Goosey, cooked to order
Evening guests may have come straight from work, while day guests last ate in the afternoon. Hot food fried to order looks after both. For vow renewals and anniversaries and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips for your guests.
Near Goosey, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A chip van is made for that: no kitchen needed, just a firm spot near the party. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Evening food usually goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.

Goosey questions
Is Goosey close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Goosey?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. A chip van gives a more filling, proper meal that guests remember. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
