Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Give us a contact for the day who isn’t the couple
Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Do not forget your suppliers

Step by step

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Evening food at a South Godstone wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the hatch help guests and photos alike.

South Godstone: your questions answered

Is South Godstone too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

We are gathering after a service at St Stephen: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.

Can the van park on grass?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Can the van come to South Godstone?

We do. South Godstone is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

How much is fish and chip van hire?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Hog roasts are a wedding favourite, but it’s one dish, and some guests don’t eat pork. A van gives a choice of fish, sausage or pie. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
