Corporate fish and chip catering in Cobham, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Whether it’s team away days and charity days, we can cook cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.
Work events near Cobham might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
