Corporate fish and chip catering for Hydestile events
How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. Lunchtime bookings in Hydestile are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.

Hydestile questions
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Hydestile?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Staff lunches
- Cod and chips
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Your date and serving time
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
