Choosing a fish and chip van

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Maudlin

Near Maudlin, workplaces can be far from shops, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Maudlin is about 2 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Anywhere in PO18, we can bring the van to you. Maudlin is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we bring the van. You can also see our page for Brighton, about 27 miles away.

Common questions in Maudlin

Can you serve near the sea around Maudlin?

Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

How far is Maudlin from London?

About 53 miles from central London.

What can staff choose from?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, West Sussex included. Find your area.

Do you cover Maudlin?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Maudlin. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Do you work around shifts?

Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.

Can you cater for allergies?

We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Planning the van’s spot

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:

  • The site’s agreement to a catering van
  • A route in without tight gates or low branches
  • A clear area by the serving hatch

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

What we serve

  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Haddock and chips

Planning for dietary needs

Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Collect allergies in advance

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

What affects the price in Maudlin

There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • How long we serve
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Numbers

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

Getting an accurate quote

To speed things up, tell us:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The date and time of the event
  • Expected numbers
  • A picture of the parking spot

It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

What happens on the day

The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Maudlin, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.

  1. Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A chip van compared with other options

For a thank-you that lands, a chip van is hard to beat. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

What you get with us

  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • No surprises in your quote

See our prices page and our guide to van hire costs.

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 generally the easier option.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

  • 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
