Leatherhead questions
How far is Leatherhead from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Leatherhead?
Leatherhead station, in Leatherhead itself.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will go through it with you.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Leatherhead, fried fresh
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for warehouse, depot and site teams and workplace fundraising days.
A staff treat in the car park in Leatherhead is easy with a chip van, if the site agrees. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
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. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
