Fresh fish and chips in Hersham
How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hersham
We work with your facilities team on access and parking, and we will go through what your site needs from us. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater lunch for site crews and workplace fundraising days.
For businesses around Hersham, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events after work in Hersham have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Looking after everyone

- Check with facilities where the van can park
Send a message round when the van opens.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Hersham questions
Can the van park in West End Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Hersham?
Walton-On-Thames station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hersham?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
