Corporate fish and chip catering for Alfriston events

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Alfriston

Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews.

At country workplaces around Alfriston, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Common questions in Alfriston

Can you serve near the sea around Alfriston?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

What’s the nearest station to Alfriston?

Berwick (Sussex) station, about 2.2 miles north of the centre.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

Do you have allergen information?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Is there a non-fish option?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.

Can you serve children?

Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Diets, allergies and planning

Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Consider a pre-order list

Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.

Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

The menu, dish by dish

Sausage and chips

For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Read our pricing and the cost guide.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:

  • How many people are eating
  • Service time
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The date and time of year

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • The address or venue name
  • Expected numbers
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Space, access and the venue

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:

  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Lighting nearby for evening events
  • Somewhere close to where people will eat

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
