For businesses around Lindfield, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

A chip van compared with other options

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Why book our van in Lindfield

  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • No surprises in your quote
  • Something for staff to gather round

See our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.

What a fish and chip van costs

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • How far we travel
  • Cod, haddock or both

Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Details that help

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:

  • The address or venue name
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The date and time of the event

Still finalising the details? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you. The main points are:

  • A short walk from the party
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Lindfield

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.

How far is Lindfield from London?

Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.

Can you serve each shift?

Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.

What can staff choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Is everything cooked fresh?

Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Where do you take the van?

We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. See all areas.

How long does set-up take?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

How the day works

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For an end-of-day event in Lindfield, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

How to prepare

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

What comes out of the fryer

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

  • 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
