How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Cripp's Corner
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. We’re often asked to cater retirement send-offs and lunch for site crews, serving sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Cripp's Corner, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
After the last group, we pack up.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
For planners, venues and organisers

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Common questions in Cripp's Corner
Is Cripp's Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
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.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where the van would park
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your staff event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
