Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities about access
- Confirm allergies by email
- Find out what documents the site needs
Send a message round when the van opens.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Crawley
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Whether it’s warehouse, depot and site teams and project milestones, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips and more.

How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime bookings in Crawley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Service time
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

Crawley questions
Can the van park in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Crawley close to London?
About 27 miles from central London.
Do you come to Crawley?
Yes, we do. Crawley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
