Corporate fish and chip catering in Banstead, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We are frequently asked to cater summer team days and lunch for site crews, serving mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips.
Teams near Banstead often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Have a back-up for special diets
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

About the food
Curry sauce

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
