Corporate fish and chip catering for Compton events
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Compton
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For staff thank-you lunches and retirement send-offs, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips for your guests.
At country workplaces around Compton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will be straight with you about what we can do.
A chip van compared with other options
For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat in Compton. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Questions from Compton
Is Compton close to London?
About 63 miles from central London.
Could you trade in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you come onto our site?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For event organisers in Compton
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, 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.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Your choice of menu
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
There is 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.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
