How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Castle Hill
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you’re first or last in the queue. We serve cod and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for workplace fundraising days and team away days.
Rural businesses around Castle Hill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

Why choose a fish and chip van in Castle Hill?

Why us?
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Fried fresh, not kept warm

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Castle Hill questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

About 32 miles from central London.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.

Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
