Fresh fish and chips in Charleshill
Corporate fish and chip catering in Charleshill, fried fresh
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and lunch for site crews.
Rural businesses around Charleshill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Charleshill is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Planning help
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Charleshill questions
What’s the nearest station to Charleshill?
Farnham station, about 3.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Charleshill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
