What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Mugswell
Open days and customer events work well too: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. Popular choices include cod and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater open days and end-of-project celebrations.
Around Mugswell, workplace bookings tend to use car parks, yards and loading bays. Get facilities’ approval and plan access early. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What affects the price in Mugswell
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
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. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Give us break and shift times
Send a message round when the van opens.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
How the day works
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event. In Mugswell, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Mugswell
Can the van park in Eyhurst Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
