How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Fickleshole

For farms and rural sites near Fickleshole, 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, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Fickleshole
Can the van park in Addington Vale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Fickleshole?
Woldingham station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can the van come to Fickleshole?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Fickleshole and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
