Corporate fish and chip catering in Forest Row, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. For workplace fundraising days and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and cod and chips and more.
Around Forest Row, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
FAQs for Forest Row
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Forest Row close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
