Fresh fish and chips in Gatton
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Gatton
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for open days and leaving dos.
Near Gatton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Gatton
Is Gatton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills 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.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Gatton.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips

Gatton for staff days and team lunches
Gatton is about 2 miles north of Redhill, in Surrey. We take a fish and chip van for your team to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Gatton and nearby villages. Gatton is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Gatton to London (about 17 miles away).
Gatton sits roughly 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. The Surrey Hills National Landscape is within about 6 miles, which suits team days in the countryside.
We serve staff events across the RH2 and RH1 postcode area. Your staff event could be at a house on Rocky Lane and Gatton Bottom, wherever the van can park. We also bring the van to staff events in South Merstham (1 mile east), Holmethorpe (1 mile south-east), Merstham (1 mile north-east), Mugswell (1 mile north-west) and Redhill (2 miles south). Further out, we also take the van to Epsom (7 miles north-west), Horley (6 miles south), Ewell (7 miles north-west), Walton-on-Thames (13 miles north-west), Caterham (4 miles north-east) and Dorking (7 miles west).

For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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.
What affects the price in Gatton
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The date and time of year
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Summer events after work in Gatton have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
