Our corporate fish and chip catering in West Sussex

Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and workplace fundraising days.

Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

What you will pay

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

You’ll also find The George Hotel (within half a mile north), Three Bridges Junior School (less than half a mile south-east) and St Francis of Assisi Catholic Primary School (less than half a mile south-east).

Green spaces within easy reach include Tilgate Lake.

Business events across West Sussex

From offices in Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to rural sites in West Sussex’s villages, a chip van feeds a team on site. The South Downs National Park and the High Weald National Landscape are within easy reach of places across West Sussex, where some venues have extra rules about vehicles. Around 121 places in West Sussex are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered side for the queue, and fish and chips feels right at home.

Crawley: The A23 and A264 put Crawley within easy reach for the van. Commuters will know that Crawley station serves Crawley directly. Lunchtime bookings in Crawley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Looking after everyone

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

Put bins near the hatch.

A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Who books corporate fish and chip catering?

It suits shift teams, with service timed to each break.

These are some of the bookings we take:

  • Staff appreciation days
  • Charity and fundraising days at work
  • Shift teams at depots and warehouses
  • Retirement and leaving lunches

Should I sort the food myself?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

What the van needs

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
  • A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service

About the food

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.

Haddock and chips

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

Questions from West Sussex

Do you serve visitors at events?

We do. Visitors love it.

Can the van park on the street?

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

Do you clear up afterwards?

The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.

What paperwork do you provide?

Send us your site’s list, and we’ll go through it with you.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What’s on the menu?

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