Corporate fish and chip catering in Old Shoreham, cooked to order
We keep the menu short so a lunch break is enough: fish, sausages, pies and chips, with the classic sides. For open days and customer events and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural businesses around Old Shoreham can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it is ready.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Old Shoreham
Is Old Shoreham too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Old Shoreham?
Shoreham-By-Sea station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Where the van can park in Old Shoreham
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Mushy peas
- Haddock and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- The date and time of year
- Your choice of menu
- Numbers
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:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Allergies and diets you know about
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
A chip van compared with other options
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
