Fresh fish and chips in Crockerhill

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Crockerhill

It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Typical bookings include warehouse, depot and site teams and staff appreciation days, serving pie and chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips.

At country workplaces around Crockerhill, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Choosing a fish and chip van

Questions from Crockerhill

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.

Food your guests will love

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

How it works

You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an end-of-day event in Crockerhill, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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 typically the easier option.

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.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
