About our corporate fish and chip catering in Loose
We park in your car park, yard or forecourt, so nobody has to leave site. On the menu are mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for celebrating a big win and summer staff parties.
At country workplaces around Loose, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Share the shift pattern
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Corporate buffets are normally cold. A van serves hot food to order. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

FAQs for Loose
Do you come out to small places like Loose?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Loose?
East Farleigh station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Loose.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
