Corporate fish and chip catering in Crowhurst Lane End, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: the classics, done properly. We are frequently asked to cater summer team days and workplace fundraising days, with sausage and chips, mushy peas and pie and chips.
Near Crowhurst Lane End, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Crowhurst Lane End, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
