Corporate fish and chip catering in Nettlestone
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Nettlestone, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Questions from Nettlestone
What’s the nearest station to Nettlestone?
The closest is Smallbrook Junction station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Nettlestone?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask facilities about access
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Put allergy details in writing
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Nettlestone?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
