How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Fernhill
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and team away days, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, haddock and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Fernhill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Fernhill is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Fernhill
Which station is closest to Fernhill?
The closest is Gatwick Airport station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Fernhill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cover Fernhill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Fernhill and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.

For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- Access and parking
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
