Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Hellingly
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We are frequently asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and staff appreciation days, serving mushy peas, pie and chips and cod and chips.
Teams near Hellingly often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Questions from Hellingly
What’s the nearest station to Hellingly?
Polegate station, about 4.3 miles south of the centre.
Is Hellingly close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often 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.
- 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
