How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Headley
A short menu keeps the queue moving through a lunch break: the classics, done properly. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and pie and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and customer events and friday lunch treats.
Near Headley, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Takeaway run or book a 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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Headley questions
Is Headley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
