Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Lyde Green
How far is Lyde Green from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Lyde Green?
Hook station, about 2.2 miles south-east of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Lyde Green?
It’s hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Charity and fundraising days at work
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- End-of-project celebrations
- Open days and customer events
Lyde Green is about 41 miles from central London.

Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
