How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cole Henley
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There’s no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. For end-of-project celebrations and a monthly Fish Friday, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and pie and chips.
Near Cole Henley, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Questions from Cole Henley
Is Cole Henley 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.
Is Cole Henley close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
What you get with us
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A quote that spells everything out

How it works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in Cole Henley. For a staff lunch in Cole Henley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
