Corporate fish and chip catering in Abinger Hammer
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Abinger Hammer, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Get permission for the van from the venue

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Abinger Hammer
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater workplace fundraising days and customer days.
Near Abinger Hammer, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Abinger Hammer
Which station is closest to Abinger Hammer?
The closest is Gomshall station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Abinger Hammer?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Abinger Hammer?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
