Among the historic houses close to Danehill are Priest House (4 miles north-west) and Gravetye Manor (4.8 miles north-west).

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Danehill
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and people still talk about it the following week. On the menu are haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re frequently booked for thank-you lunches for the team and customer days.
At country workplaces around Danehill, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. After-work summer events in Danehill have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Service time
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the van would park
