About our corporate fish and chip catering in Allhallows
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer team days and workplace fundraising days.
At country workplaces around Allhallows, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
DIY versus a fish and chip 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. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Allhallows
What’s the nearest station to Allhallows?
The closest is Chalkwell station, roughly 5 miles away.
How far is Allhallows from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
