Corporate fish and chip catering in East Grinstead
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in East Grinstead
Everything is cooked as people come up, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it is fish Friday treats and lunch for site crews, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
A staff treat in the car park in East Grinstead is easy with a chip van, as long as the site allows it. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Have a back-up for special diets
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

Questions from East Grinstead
How far is East Grinstead from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can the van come to East Grinstead?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and East Grinstead is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What can staff choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in East Grinstead are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
