Fresh fish and chips in Earlswood
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 a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Earlswood, cooked to order
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for workplace fundraising days and retirement and leaving lunches.
Teams near Earlswood often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. After-work summer events in Earlswood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Tell us when you want to eat

Planning help
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Why book with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch

Questions from Earlswood
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Earlswood from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- Service time
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Send round an allergy question
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Consider a pre-order list
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
- 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
