Corporate fish and chip catering in Hawkley, cooked to order

Rural businesses around Hawkley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime staff treats in Hawkley are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.

Common questions in Hawkley
How far is Hawkley from London?

What’s the nearest station to Hawkley?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you work around shifts?

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Hawkley?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
