How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Barcombe Cross

Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. We’re often asked to cater fish Friday treats and summer staff parties, with pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips.

Near Barcombe Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

How to compare vans

Organising for someone else?

Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Barcombe Cross? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.

Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Ask facilities about access
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet

Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Barcombe Cross?

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.

Why book with us

  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • No kitchen needed
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.

Haddock and chips

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

How the day works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. A lunch-break van visit in Barcombe Cross is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
