How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Farleigh
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. Popular choices include pie and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for staff appreciation days and summer staff parties.
For farms and rural sites near Farleigh, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Farleigh: your questions answered
Can the van park in Ledgers Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Farleigh too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
Can the van come to Farleigh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Farleigh and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. 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. We set everything out in your quote.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A clear quote before booking

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Farleigh?
It’s memorable.
A fish and chip van suits almost any gathering. People in Farleigh book the van for occasions like:
- Summer team days
- Customer days
- Charity days
- Project milestones
Nearby historic houses include Addington Palace (2.2 miles north) and Down House (3.7 miles east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Farleigh are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
