Corporate fish and chip catering in Hurst Wickham, cooked to order

We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so staff don’t have to go anywhere. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and retirement send-offs, serving cod and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips.

At country workplaces around Hurst Wickham, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

What affects the price in Hurst Wickham

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Access and parking
  • The number of meals

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Rough numbers for adults and children

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.

A chip van compared with other options

For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Why book our van in Hurst Wickham

  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • No kitchen needed
  • Classic food your staff already know
  • Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Hurst Wickham

Do you come out to small places like Hurst Wickham?

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

Which station is closest to Hurst Wickham?

Hassocks station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.

Do you have documents for our site?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Where can the van park?

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.

Do we need to provide equipment?

All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Do you fry it on site?

Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

How soon do we need to book?

As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Allergies and dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Check with facilities where the van can park
  • A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
