Corporate fish and chip catering for Lightwater events
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book 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.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Lightwater, fried fresh
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because it is familiar and filling. On the menu are sausage and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we are often booked for workplace fundraising days and staff appreciation days.
For businesses around Lightwater, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what we can do before booking.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Confirm allergies by email
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In Lightwater, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Events in Lightwater and across Surrey
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
