Corporate fish and chip catering in Fairlight
FAQs for Fairlight
Can you serve near the sea around Fairlight?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Which station is closest to Fairlight?
The closest is Three Oaks station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is grass a problem?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Fairlight
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We serve pie and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re frequently booked for summer staff parties and warehouse, depot and site teams.
At country workplaces around Fairlight, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
