Corporate fish and chip catering in Meadvale, fried fresh
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. Whether it’s warehouse, depot and site teams and charity days, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and pie and chips for your guests.
Teams near Meadvale frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

FAQs for Meadvale
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Earlswood Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
Can the van come to Meadvale?
We do. We serve events in Meadvale and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Give us break and shift times
- Put allergy details in writing
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities about access
We can serve each shift in turn.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
