The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Hollingrove is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hollingrove
Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will go through what your site needs from us. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and staff appreciation days, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
At country workplaces around Hollingrove, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Let us know about coeliac disease
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- Classic food your staff already know
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Quick service from the hatch

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Where the van can park in Hollingrove

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

- A spot near your staff
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The venue or postcode
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
FAQs for Hollingrove
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hollingrove close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards typically work well.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options before you book.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
