Corporate fish and chip catering for Langley Vale events
Corporate fish and chip catering in Langley Vale, fried fresh
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For lunch for site crews and retirement and leaving lunches, we’ll put together a menu of mushy peas, pie and chips and haddock and chips and more.
Rural businesses around Langley Vale can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Langley Vale are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Ensure the van can get in

Langley Vale questions
Is Langley Vale too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Ashtead Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Access and parking
- How far we travel
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Find out what documents the site needs
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
