Corporate fish and chip catering in Eridge Green, fried fresh
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. We’re often asked to cater leaving dos and summer team days, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Eridge Green, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Sausage and chips

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- 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
