About our corporate fish and chip catering in Nutbourne
A Fish Friday treat, an end-of-project lunch or a summer team day, the van makes the day feel special. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer days and lunch for site crews.
Rural businesses around Nutbourne can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask staff to pre-order
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- Anything awkward about the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.

How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. After-work summer events in Nutbourne have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

The closest is Pulborough station, roughly 2 miles away.

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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
