How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Fontwell

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Fontwell
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Common questions in Fontwell
Can you serve near the sea around Fontwell?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Fontwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Fontwell?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
