About our corporate fish and chip catering in Honey Hill
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re frequently booked for team away days and lunch for site crews.
Rural businesses around Honey Hill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Honey Hill, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need lighting.

A chip van compared with other options
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before you book
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- No kitchen needed
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- The length of service
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- The venue or postcode
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
Common questions in Honey Hill
Do you come out to small places like Honey Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Honey Hill from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
