Corporate fish and chip catering in Freeland, fried fresh
It suits office staff, drivers, warehouse teams and site crews alike, because it is familiar and filling. Whether it’s customer days and a monthly Fish Friday, we will put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and sausage and chips for your guests.

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities about access
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Consider a pre-order list
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 nobody has to miss the staff event.

Freeland questions
Is Freeland close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Freeland?
Combe station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you come to Freeland?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Freeland. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
What you get with us
- Hot food handed straight over
