Fresh fish and chips in Badshot Lea
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an end-of-day event in Badshot Lea, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Corporate fish and chip catering in Badshot Lea, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We are frequently asked to cater open days and staff appreciation days, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Badshot Lea, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Badshot Lea
How far is Badshot Lea from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Weybourne LNR?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your staff
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A photo of the parking spot
