About our corporate fish and chip catering in Charlwood
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. On the menu are sausage and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for end-of-project celebrations and staff thank-you lunches.
Near Charlwood, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer events after work in Charlwood have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.

Questions from Charlwood
Do you come out to small places like Charlwood?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
What affects the price in Charlwood
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Numbers
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we will quote on that. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
