How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Highbrook
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and charity and fundraising days at work, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
For farms and rural sites near Highbrook, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send allergies to us in writing
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Highbrook? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day

- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What else we do in Highbrook
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

What’s the nearest station to Highbrook?
Balcombe station, about 3.4 miles west of the centre.

Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
