About our corporate fish and chip catering in Linchmere
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. We’re frequently asked to cater project milestones and workplace fundraising days, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Linchmere, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why book with us
- No surprises in your quote
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Service time
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Expected numbers
- Your date and serving time
Send us the date, the address or GU27 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your staff
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Linchmere: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Linchmere?
Liphook station, about 1.4 miles west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Share the shift pattern
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events after work in Linchmere have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van
Getting a price
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- 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
