About our corporate fish and chip catering in Epsom
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Typical bookings include customer days and leaving dos, with pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips.
Workplaces in Epsom range from offices to industrial units. A chip van feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Historic houses near Epsom include Fitznells Manor (1.3 miles north-east) and Nonsuch Mansion (2.3 miles north-east).

A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Give us break and shift times
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice. There is 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.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your staff can wander over to the hatch once service starts. After-work summer events in Epsom 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.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
