Corporate fish and chip catering in Firle
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Whether it is a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include mushy peas, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and customer events and summer team days.

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Firle is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
