Corporate fish and chip catering in Foxcotte, cooked to order
It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater shift teams at depots and warehouses and staff thank-you lunches.
At country workplaces around Foxcotte, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

Common questions in Foxcotte
Is Foxcotte close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Foxcotte?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the parking spot
- Your date and serving time
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Send allergies to us in writing
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Other occasions in Foxcotte
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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 cooks in front of your staff instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Foxcotte? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a staff lunch in Foxcotte, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
