Corporate fish and chip catering in Lower Farringdon, cooked to order
A chip van lunch is one of the simplest ways to say thank you to a team. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and it gets people talking. For shift teams at depots and warehouses and thank-you lunches for the team, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Lower Farringdon can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Any minimum charge
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- How easy the site is to reach
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The venue or postcode
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Lower Farringdon questions
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Farringdon?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What you get with us

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
