Hoyle questions
How far is Hoyle from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where will the van go on our site?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Hoyle, fried fresh
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. We are often asked to cater project milestones and retirement and leaving lunches, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Hoyle can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. After-work summer events in Hoyle have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, use our quote form.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Give us break and shift times
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so service starts on time.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
