What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

Takeaway run or book a van?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Workplace catering around Castle Town

Castle Town is about 3 miles north of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Castle Town is well within our area, so your staff event just needs a date, a spot for the van and a serving time. We take the van to all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. We serve events right across the region, from Castle Town to Brighton (about 8 miles away).

Historic houses near Castle Town include Portslade Manor (4.2 miles south-east). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for vehicles. Castle Town is about 44 miles from central London. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.

This part of West Sussex takes in BN44, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. That could mean a staff event at a home on Henfield Road, The Bostal and Shoreham Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Nearby, we also serve staff events in Adur (2 miles south), Old Shoreham (3 miles south), Shoreham-by-Sea (3 miles south), Fulking (3 miles east) and Kingston by Sea (4 miles south-east). Further out, we also take the van to Horsham (13 miles north), Worthing (6 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (12 miles north-east), Burgess Hill (9 miles north-east), Littlehampton (11 miles south-west) and Lancing (4 miles south).

Nearby you will also find Southlands Hospital (3.1 miles south-east) and Steyning Museum (1.5 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Mill Hill and Truleigh Hill.

  • Local schools include Steyning Grammar School (1.8 miles north-west)

Questions from Castle Town

What about events near the coast?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Is Castle Town too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Can you come onto our site?

That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Planning for dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Tell us exactly when each group can eat
  • Ask facilities about access

We can serve each shift in turn.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

For event organisers in Castle Town

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Step by step

Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Lunchtime bookings in Castle Town are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How to get a price

Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
