How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Little Bookham
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fish Friday treats and charity and fundraising days at work.
Around Little Bookham, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A chip van suits all of them. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Little Bookham?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book our van in Little Bookham
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- A quote that spells everything out
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events after work in Little Bookham have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
