What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Common questions in Arundel
How far is Arundel from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Arundel?
It does not need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is simple to arrange.

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Confirm allergies by email
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
