How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Hurstpierpoint

Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Typical bookings include leaving dos and charity and fundraising days at work, with haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.

Around Hurstpierpoint, teams work at farms, workshops and units. The van works at any of them. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Our booking checklist

What happens on the day

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff generally gather round the hatch once service starts. Lunchtime staff treats in Hurstpierpoint are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Planners, venues and businesses

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

Why us?

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Something for staff to gather round
  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • No kitchen needed

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Curry sauce

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

  • 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
