A chip van near Highleigh

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Highleigh

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. There is no room to book and no kitchen needed, and it gets people talking. Whether it is workplace fundraising days and celebrating a big win, we can cook cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

Near Highleigh, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

15 questions to ask before booking

Should I sort the food myself?

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

The process

When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Highleigh, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Highleigh: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Highleigh?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

How far is Highleigh from London?

About 59 miles from central London.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

Can we pay by invoice?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

When should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

What comes out of the fryer

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Any minimum charge
  • The length of service
  • The menu and how many choices
  • How far we travel

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Details that help

When you contact us, it helps to tell us:

  • Your date and serving time
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The spot you have in mind for the van

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and planning

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

  • Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

Send a message round when the van opens.

Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

What the van needs

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A spot near your staff

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
