Fresh fish and chips in Grafham
How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Grafham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Grafham
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we’ll go through what your site needs from us. Popular choices include cod and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer team days and staff thank-you lunches.
Rural businesses around Grafham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Common questions in Grafham
Is Grafham close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Where the van can park in Grafham
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
