How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Farncombe
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. For staff thank-you lunches and end-of-project celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Around Farncombe, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why us?
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your staff already know
- A clear quote before booking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
