Corporate fish and chip catering in Cote, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. Whether it is customer days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Cote can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

FAQs for Cote
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Cote close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For an end-of-day event in Cote, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up

Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What we need to know
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
