Fresh fish and chips in Alfold
Corporate fish and chip catering in Alfold, cooked to order
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. On the menu are mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and retirement send-offs.
At country workplaces around Alfold, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why Alfold hosts choose us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Bookings across Surrey, including Alfold
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- The minimum booking
- The day of the week
Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where you’d like the van to go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Check with facilities where the van can park
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Questions from Alfold
Can the van park in Fir Tree Copse?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Alfold close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.

What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Alfold is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
