Corporate fish and chip catering in Headley, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot whether you are first or last in the queue. We serve sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for leaving dos and summer team days.
Near Headley, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Headley
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. A lunch-break van visit in Headley is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What else we do in Headley
Headley: your questions answered
How far is Headley from London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Could you trade in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Do you come to Headley?
Yes, we do. Headley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
