About our corporate fish and chip catering in Epsom Downs
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it’s staff appreciation days and fish Friday treats, we’ll put together a menu of sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips for your guests.
Rural businesses around Epsom Downs can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Epsom Downs
Can the van go 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.
Which station is closest to Epsom Downs?
Epsom Downs has its own station: Epsom Downs station.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover Epsom Downs?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Epsom Downs and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Epsom Downs?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Epsom Downs for staff days and team lunches
Epsom Downs is about 1 mile south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. Staff events in Epsom Downs are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Epsom Downs is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 14 miles away.
Epsom Downs sits roughly 14 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. Nearby historic houses include Fitznells Manor (2.1 miles north) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.6 miles north). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they typically set strict rules for vehicles. With the Surrey Hills National Landscape within about 6 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.
Wherever your staff event is in KT17, we can fry fresh for your staff, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your staff event could be at a house on Longdown Lane South, Bunbury Way and Burgh Heath Road, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover staff events in Nork (1 mile east), North Looe (1 mile north), Great Burgh (1 mile south-east), Tattenham Corner (1 mile south) and Langley Vale (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Guildford (15 miles west), Woking (14 miles west), Horley (10 miles south), Redhill (7 miles south-east), Egham (15 miles north-west) and Reigate (6 miles south).
A little further out are Epsom General Hospital (1.3 miles west) and The Ashley Centre (1.3 miles north-west). Within reach you’ll find Colley Hill and Cuddington Meadows.
- Local schools include Laine Theatre Arts (1.2 miles north-west) and The Beacon School (1.3 miles east)
- Local pubs include Derby Arms (0.7 miles south-west)
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Epsom Downs, 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.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
