Corporate fish and chip catering in Knaphill
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Common questions in Knaphill
Which station is closest to Knaphill?
Brookwood station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Knaphill from London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where will the van go on our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What affects the price in Knaphill
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Share the shift pattern
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
- 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
