Kingswood for staff days and team lunches
Kingswood is about 4 miles south-west of Coulsdon, in Surrey. Whether your staff event is in the middle of Kingswood or on the outskirts, we offer the same service: fresh frying, hot food from the hatch and a clear price. Kingswood is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 15 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Fitznells Manor (4.6 miles north) and Nonsuch Mansion (4.7 miles north).

For staff events in KT20, we just need to know where the van can park.

Corporate fish and chip catering in Kingswood, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so the last person served gets food as hot as the first. We serve haddock and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas, and we’re regularly asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and celebrating a big win.
Teams near Kingswood often go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Give us break and shift times
- Find out what documents the site needs
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Cod, haddock or both
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the van would park
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. After-work summer events in Kingswood have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Bookings across Surrey, including Kingswood
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
