How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Compton
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. We are often asked to cater celebrating a big win and shift teams at depots and warehouses, with mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Compton, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Common questions in Compton
Is Compton close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cover Compton?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Compton and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. Visitors love it.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
For event organisers in Compton
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Compton?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
